PS: An observation: I'm very convinced that the rear subframe mounts deteriorate from oil leaks. The fronts were worn down and a little soft but not collapsed like the rears. The rears were also "gummy". I've since replaced the valve cover gaskets, new copper rings, torqued, etc - no more leaks. The engine is actually worth keeping clean now. Makes it easier to find something wrong, too...
