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.

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.

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.
