i'm kind of new to these cars but i believe this is the engine mount? what is this purple substance that seems to be leaking from the engine mount, it leaks onto my sway bar and builds up there as well. i looked at the left mount and there was a much smaller amount of it that was dried around the edges of the mount

 

You will need to replace those engine mounts as over time they develop leaks and will eventually cause unwanted vibrations through the chassis.

 

thanks for the response. so there is fluid inside of the mounts themselves?? i suppose thats better than some non engine mount mystery leak...

 

Yea, there is some kind of fluid in them. I'm not exactly sure what type of fluid it is to be honest. But it allows the mount to "float" and provide a smoother engine idle while in the cab. It's not too uncommon for them to begin to leak as they age. I would aim on replacing them within the next three months or so.
