What 'fluid' is in that engine mount? I ask as a long time ago I had an odd black fluid on the pressed metal rail below the upper 'anti-sway' bar & coolant tank. I couldn't identify it and haven't seen it since. I could have come from that mount as it was directly beneath it.Ah I understand now. I suspect that my original thought of the engine being used to lift the vehicle is correct. This action has split the mount, causing the fluid inside to dry out disintegrate. The top part of the mount would then start to press into the lower section over a period of time. This has led to the engine having no insulation from the body, which would have been rather noisy from inside. At least it's sorted and you'll have a quite car from now on.

The Discovery 3 uses large diameter hydro-bushes in the front suspension. These bushes are very susceptible to bursting if a pot hole is driven over while heavy braking is done.What 'fluid' is in that engine mount?
