Default But they do not have solid mounts. It's a VERY common failure for the motormounts to spring a leak.
VW/Audi have been using hydro mounts for a LONG time.

Default you will be very surprised... when i get home.. I will pull up some pictures
of cracked/destroyed motor mounts and brand new motor mounts that we've replaced and you will see that there isn't a drop of liquid in it.

Default Maybe that's because they're cracked and destroyed?
I've heard of leaking motor mounts too but don't have your hands-on experience.
