Alright, parts arrived today, two Corteco engine mounts, oil cooler lines, and some engine shocks.

I started to work on the driver side mount and realized I would be making a trip to the hardware store. The mount to engine bolt (M12) had fallen out and was missing.

So I removed the M12 from the passenger side, took out the engine shocks. Gonna need new rubber bushings for those guys. The upper mounts are ok, a little greasy but ok.

Got the passenger side mount out and a new one is laying in there ready to be mounted.

The driver side is a bit of a problem. I can get to the outer engine mount bolt but not so sure about the inside...do I have to get it from underneath? I figured you'd remove the heat shield and it'd be easy access however the heat shield DOES NOT want to come off the arm. I tried hitting it with a hammer (via a long screwdriver) and it didnt budge. Any advice?

I'm also replacing the oil cooler lines, any tips/hints would be welcome. I read someone removed the engine mount arm and that made it much easier? Thoughts?

As for the leak, it smells diesely to me. I'm not sure. I didnt see any obvious leaks of ATF under the car. I'm still going to replace the tranny cooler rubber lines..

As always, I appreciate your tips/hints.

Bolt Information:
2x M12x40
4x M8x18

Thanks

Kris
