There are 3 mounts ... all below the engine. One below oil filter is "active" mount which counteracts the engine vibration and the other 2 are passive. There is a dog-bone support at the top of the engine which is a brace to counter act the torque developed by engine under power.

Mechanics along with visual also use long pry bars to forcibly shift the engine/transmission to see if the mounts are compromised.

I have never priced the mounts. The active mount maybe fairly expensive.

When I got uphill the second time I put it in park but I noticed before I parked that my car was kinda running rough. When I drove it down hill it was still running rough and my check engine light came on started blinking. I got home and used my scanner and it didn’t read any new codes, it just showed old codes I had. Do you think it could be my mounts?
