Front Engine Mount Oil Leak
Hello Everyone, I just noticed my front egnine mount has an oil leak on the bottom rubber cover. My question is:
1. Would disconnecting the power connector at the engine mount stop the hydraulic feature, and would not cause any engine code?
2. Or plug the vacuum hose, and leave the power connector alone?
3. How easy is replacing the front engine mount? I can't find anything from Search, except 1 with a question without an answer of how to get the engine mount out once it was unbolted and free in there. Thanks Nad and John for their images and suggestions.
I just don't want to keep having the oil burst out until the mount get replaced. from my observation, it is just one top nut, and 3 nuts on the bottom, slightly raise the engine and it should be free. If it is tight, then possibly remove the side engine mount, and raise the engine a bit more.

You can unbolt the lower mount to frame bolts and the 4 mount to engine bolts. Then the whole untit can be lifted out. Here are the torque specs.

Drcoffee , thank you very much for the advice, and the torque specs. I think that was where the other user had issue with, where he didn't seperate the engine bracket from the engine mount.
