Default Hydraulic Motor Mounts

Hey all! noticed a spot in my driveway, and for once couldn't blame the '50 chevy as its hibernating for the winter. It smelled unlike anything in a lexus... almost like 90wt gear oil. I suspect the front mount. a few questions: I have heard to never use aftermarket as they suck. Also, was wondering if it would be silly to use a new front mount with old side mounts (110,600 miles). I think not, but wanted to hear from the wealth of knowledge here.

Please don't bother suggesting a solid rubber mount, as I once turned my hydraulic mount "off" with TIS and learned just how well it works (when its on)

Thanks

Drew

See this thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/es-...questions.html

I'd use the old ones unless you tell they are bad. They last a long time. But it doesn't hurt to replace them.

Wow. Why do they even bother ? The aftermarket companies, I mean. I’ll go oem. Just want to be sure it’s really bad
