Oh yes, the joys of owning an older car....

I was half way to work and my fuel gauge went flat to reserve without a light. I open the hood expecting to find an injector return line off or a burst cigar hose. I don't find anything related to fuel loss but while checking the prefilter I notice my driver side engine mount is squashed flat!

Rubber is torn and hanging out the sides but the engine does dot come out of it's support. Being that it's on the dreaded oil cooler line side, how long do they realisticly last in this condition? I've already made a makeshift "hold in" rod through the engine shock hole using a big bolt and sturdy washers. So if it does decide to break loose it won't lift out of it's seat.

And best of all my fuel gauge is stuck at 1/4 tank with the reserve light on.
