well, i only found out after i saw the fluid pooled on the subframe, looking down into the engine bay..

and that was only on one side... the driver's side had no indication...

they're easily removed in a shop or even at home.. just take it out and see...

Becareful with how you word that. Do not remove more than one mount at a time unless you have the tools to lift the motor up to get the motor mounts to line up right.

As for checking the engine mount, look at them and check to see if the rubber in the mounts are dry or cracked.
If you drive agressively, then the mounts may wear out faster than normal because of the amnount of movement from the motor.
