Default Leak from....a motor mount???

Hey everybody, need some quick help. I am changing my engine oil at the moment and I got under there to check things out and I had recently replaced my suspension bushings on my LCA's with polyurethane bushings. So I was feeling around and I notice on the right LCA there is LOT of grease, not oil but thick, thick black grease. I followed it up and it looks as if it is coming from the motor mount bolt. Is this possible? I cannot find any other place it could be coming from. Any ideas?

BTW- Car is a 93 dx hatch w/ b16a

errr... on the LCA... somewhere near a cv joint perhaps? I'd check your cv boots...

edit:
it doesn't have to be fully torn, I've had a couple "perforate" and at speed they sling tons of little speckels of grease everygoddamnwhere

That may make sense. When I was replacing my bushings the axle on that side came loose from the cv joint...Ill check her out! Thanks!
