Oil leak

paulvasey · Mar 3, 2013

I've noticed a small oil leak dripping from an area sort of below the engine oil dipstick, can any body indentify the component in the attached pic? Not sure if its the underside of the engine mounting ?

Looks like part of the AntiVibration dampers on the Engine Mount to me...

mmm are they hydraulic? and if so do you know if they are fed from the engine? could that be the leak source?

I think they are sealed like a suspension shock absorber...so no feed from the engine system.....

I think they are also electronically controlled

How fecking stupid is that

Ha, I think you could be right. There is an electrical connection down there. Slightly over engineered maybe!
