When I was washing my car, I noticed that there was some oil dripping on my exhaust pipe, then I saw where it was dripping from, but I don't know what it is. I took some pictures, maybe you guys can help me.

Also, is it safe to drive it tomorrow morning?

Thank you so much.

The car is safe to drive.

You have a leaking differential mount. A fairly common problem that should not affect day to day driving.

Just dont drive it hard till you get it fixed.

 

awesome, thank you!!!

 

I had one go bad at 2k miles. Get it off of the exhaust before it buns on it. Mine leaked on to my Comptech exhaust and it was a real pain to get it off.

 

what is the procedure to get it fixed?

 

Took the dealer 20 min to replace mine. Put the car on alignment rack. Jack up the rear end to unload the sway bar. Unhook the driverside sway bar link (the sway bar is in the way) and unbolt the mount and replace.

 

what kind of liquid is the mount filled with? Do you guys know if this is a fairly common problem?

 

I think it's some kind of very light weight oil. My old turbo EK hatchback tore it's side mount that was filled with this liquid/oil. I know it's common for powerful civic's, it's almost a sure thing if you own a EK. I am not sure about the S2000, it's most likely the same manufacture that build the crummy one for the civic.

 

I have a few spares, PM me an offer if you want one. They list for 80+ at the dealer.
