Hey guys,
I have a 2016 Navigator Reserve and I'm trying to track down a leak. The fluid is thin and slippery, almost like coolant. It leaks off the truck at the bolt head on the body mount. But I haven't found a source beyond the mount yet ie. everything above the lowest part of the mount looks dry. It is the mount just about in line with the front door hinges, passenger side.
So looking at the lower mount, it's not your typical rubber isolator like the rest of the mounts on the vehicle. If I were to guess (and a poor one at that), I'd say it's some sort of liquid filled mount. The service manual shows no such thing and no part numbers match up to anything that looks like below. So what am I dealing with here? Could it really be a fluid-filled mount of some sort?
I don't rule out that it could be a coolant leak snaking or blowing its way there, but would like to gain some insight into what I'm actually looking at and whether I can rule it out as a fluid leak source.
Any help much appreciated. Pics below:
