Ford Mondeo - Engine mount/ oil - jimmyears
Hello I have a 2006 mondeo 2.2 estate 50000 miles. I notice recently a small spot of oil on driveway. On opening bonnet oil was around engine mount at aux belt top of engine. I took it to my mates garage and he could not figure out where the oil was coming from and thought the same as me from the bearing. Checking with ford they said timing chain cover or would have to look at but the mount does not have oil in it. I had the area cleaned to see where it was coming from and it's definitely the mount. I have just found out the mount has a hydro bearing in it which means it has oil in it. Has anyone had any similar experience of this as I would like to confirm. Any advice welcome

Yes many cars now use these types of mounts. Some also stiffen under the control of an electical connection to the engine ECU.

Your mount, if it is leaking will be expensive circa £150.00.

Thanks for feedback Peter though I was going mad for a while trying to guess where the oil was from.
