Motor Mounts
I saw a spot of oil on the garage floor today and it looks like it is motor mount oil. Last week I ordered a set of Hinson mounts.
Based on that guess work, I think I will buy a lotto ticket.

That stuff is crazy, it stains like no other fluid in a vehicle. I had a motor mount break and the oil streaked all along the oil pan. It's still orange to this day, years later!
I set the damaged mount on the garbage can lid at some point, same story.
It was amusing, took me a long time to figure out what that stain on the oil pan was, and why no amount of brake clean would remove it.
