I'm at a loss for words lol. yesterday i opened my hood to find a weird poo/sewage smelling brown liquid by my drivers side headlight, on the underside of the hood, and on the driver side motor mount as well. i cleaned it up thinking i must have somehow ran over something.. idk... I pop the hood tonight to find the exact same thing!

I have a built b20, doesn't leak any oil, coolant, etc. there is no fluid anywhere other than the place listed nothing on the valve cover, radiator, anywhere. I am stumped. included is a pic to kinda show what i am dealing with.

 

blown motor mount, same thing happened to me. same poop lol

 

why does a blown motor mount give off that fluid? what is the fluid?

 

lol damn i knew i had shitty homemade solid mounts, but i didnt know they were that shitty!

 

he was joking, it doesnt lol

 

I forget what it is called but I know the factory mounts are liquid-filled, eventually they wear down and rupture like that. Mine sprayed on the other side

 

guess I missed the joke?

 

wait really??? huh i thought you were crackin a joke about where it was coming from. i am going to have to check that out in the morning but honesltly that would make sense. its not coming from any part of the motor like the valvecover or headgasket so i will look tomorrow and find out for sure

 

lol yeah I was for real, my driver side motor mount blew out that poop too and I can tell its gone bad (when jacking up the front of the car I can see the engine sort of bounce)

 

thats really weird.. i have never seen hydraulic fluid get that color or smell so bad. it must have gotten water in it somehow and slowly just gotten nasty. it has to be that there is no way its coming from any other part of the car. damn thanks i think i actually have an extra one layin around in my garage too.

 

it's not hydraulic fluid, it's some sort of weird damping oil that's in the mount. it also may be glycol

 

x2 for the bad mount

 

it's sprayed everywhere because every time the engine puts load on the mount, it squirts out of the mount under pressure

 

makes sense now. i was unaware civic motor mounts were filled with anything i always thought they were solid rubber. looks like i will be replacing that motor mount in the next couple days. thanks a lot for the help guys i was under the suspicion that someone was secretly taking ***** in my engine bay

 

they did, they are secretly filling their motor mounts with Japanese poop, to get rid of it. Thats why Honda's have gotten so shitty lately.



sorry, couldn't resist......................

 

Jack up your motor and rip that mount off looks like grease. check for cracks tears etc.
had a b20v eg do that to me but on the rear mount.

 

it was indeed the motor mount, new one put on and i bought an extra one to make another solid mount. Thanks for the help!

 

Where is your lower torque mount?

 

Fixed

 

Alot of people opt to run without them. I wouldn't do it without solid mounts of course.

 

I would say cat **** since cats like to hang out in car engine bays lol
