Does anyone know if it's normal that fluid comes out of your engine damper. I always thought they were solid rubber blocks :wideeyed2:
And I've also noticed that the peace that normally sticks out, is now pushed in (after the oil leaked completely out).
And no it wasn't dirt, it really was fluid/oil :))))
Haha, perfectly normal. They are, in fact, filled with oil!
So that means I'll have to buy me new ones? Or can these be refurbished in some kind of way? :angel:
Need to replace, try Rock Auto. They may have them on the shelf.
My motor mounts also pissed oil out just like yours. Check out my pics if you want. I ended up going the "hockey Puck" motor mounts route. Little stiff. But i love it! and it was cheap($4).
LoL, nice fix! :P
I think I might stay with the OEM ones (if I can find them)
Thanks for all the information! Does Rock Auto also ship to Belgium (Europe)? :)
Well, you might try entering your request in "Wanted to buy" section, I don't see any engine mounts , only transmission mounts. Rock Auto does have a number of items for our older cars, and apparently will ship anywhere as they have a monetary drop down for pricing in most currencies.

Thanks for the tips and your quick replies! :yes: :yes: :yes:
Since I'm swapping in a CA18DET I was wondering if stock S13 engine dampers/mounts would fit the S12 crossmembers? That would give me more aftermarket possibilities and would make finding OEM ones in Europe easier :)
Look for a link in Keith's postings in regards to his build. Keith has incredible pictures documenting everything he does to his car, which is easily one of the nicest examples of a modded S-12. He has the CA18DET in his car and I believe the installation all went rather smoothly for him. Also, feel free to contact him, he has been extremely helpful to me over the years.
I've found a lot of info on the CA18DET swap and how to do it (of which there are also Keiths' posts). But I can't seem to find a topic about his built, I've tried multiple search key words and also tried google :P
Contact Keith by pm, he will send a link to his pictures. He documents all his work with astonishing photos, he was a tremendous help during my build of my CA18ET.
Keith replied me very quickly but wasn't sure about fitting S13 mounts on s12 crossmembers so I put my question in the CA18DET part of this forum.
I'm wondering if these can be refilled? for example when I put them in a bucket full of oil and close them immersed under the oil. Seems like the reason why they leaked in the first place is because I unbolted one bolt to many (first time i do an engine swap so at least I've learned something :P). Or maybe if I refill it with silicone? :D :D :devilsidesmile:
Not sure but think I read that once the seal is broken they are toast
