Default Rear end Rubber mount leaking fluid?

After a long rain i went to wash my car and went to clean my Top speed exhaust and noticed that there was black liquid that dripped on my exhaust and dried on and wouldnt come off and i look at the black rubber mount and it has a lil wet spot on the mount as if its leaking fluid? Whats this rubber mount? and is it fluid filled?
thats the black mount i was refrerring to...

This is a bumper tuck pic from Offsetz33, props on the photo.

The Differential mounts are fluid filled, you need to replace them if they are leaking. You can get solid ones from SPL

Correct... http://www.z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?m...ne&prodid=3971
(There Adam... i even give you a nice plug...)

Doesn't creat a harser ride... just a little bit of gear noice.

This kit comes with 1 rear (the one leaking on yours) and 2 pairs for the front of the differential where it bolts to the subframe.

May need a press to get the OEM ones out... some don't

This also probally the cheapest and best solution.

haha The body work isnt the hard part. its pulling bend frames and changes uni sides and some quarter panels. but one you get the hang of it theres alot of money to be made and isnt to bad if you have the right tools
