Hello All,
I have a 2008 Mazda 3 which I love. I was working on changing the oil in her today but when I started to Jack her up I must have put my jack in a bad spot. I heard a pop sound then there was all kinds of fluid leaking from above. I was wondering if anyone would help me out identifying what fluid it is and what it is coming from. I have a few pictures. I believe it is brake fluid but just not sure. It is a reddish black color.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully I didn't break to much.

Thank you,
M

you have ruptured the passenger side engine mount its filled with oil and you need a new one

the motor mounts are pieces of junks and mazda knows it but yet they continue putting them on their new cars.

it is part of their new zoom zoom campaign - you can watch your engine zoom zoom on by as you coast to a slow stop.

I am going on my third motor mount at 94,000 miles. so far I have gotten about 45000 miles out of the piece of junk.

I just hope the engine doesn't decide to come through the dash one day.

swopped all mine out for jbr 70a dura ones apart from the rear mount is cp-e one you get a little bit of vib between 2500 and 3000 but I can live with its its the breaking in period that's the killer,but it only last between 800 to 1000 miles then your good to go

Try having a speed 3 and watch what happens. 👎 at least you had to jack yours up to pop it.
