Engine questions
I just recently got enought money saved up to take my car back to the indy and last time I was there picking up my car he told me that my right engine mount was leaking after doing some research on this I'm still not sure if engine mounts even have a liquid in them. He had replaced the mounts about 2 months before that and he said he only uses OEM parts. I have noticed that while sitting parked with the car on that there are noticable vibrations.
He also said that the front cover and head seaps is this a major problem? Speaking of indies does anybody know of a good shop in Hawaii on Oahu?

MB uses hydraulic engine mounts so they can leak, but it usually takes years and a decent amount of miles.
Front cover leak isn't a big deal unless its gushing, don't worry about the head gasket till it is pouring oil, they all leak until they are replaced with the updated part. :/

Yes the mounts contain fluid. If the mounts are really only 2 months old and they leaking then something is wrong!
