Hi All,

I’m not very technical, so after a little help please.
There is a small amount of oil seeping from a rubber seal, just under the coolant expansion tank. Am I correct to assume this is the oil pump? Is this a common issue ?Guess the pump will need replacing? 2014, Mileage 104k. Thanks

That's an oil-filled bush; if it's weeping oil it will need replacing.

As above its the engine mount bud , it’s a very easy job to do yourself the longest part is taking the undertray off

my engine mount was leaking/failed under my coolant tank last year after 10 years of ownership but mine was a mkk2 st 07 plate... i bought an ebay one fitted at dreamscience...ok so far.

Looks like you’re a bit low on coolant though. 😁

Hey sorry to revive this old post. Did this fix the problem?

I’ve got a 2016 st3 with the exact same issue as you are describing here.

I’ve ordered the part, I’ll let you know how it goes.
I held off as I ask my local garage for a quote but they never got back to me and decided to give it ago.
Ordered an expansion tank and will replace at the same time, read that they can become brittle over time. 🤞It’s as easy as it looks on YouTube.

Yeah securing the engine from underneath seems the only “Risky” part. Ordered one as well not sure when I’ll get the time to try fitting.

also got to check for a coolant leak seen some red crystallisation on it too.

When mine went on my old Mk2 I got the uprated mount from Andy at A&K. It is also a very simple job to replace. Support engine on a jack/wooden block, pull off expansion tank, undo four bolts & away you go. Just be aware that the bolts will obviously be tight so I used a long extension bar on my socket & they soon moved. Probably took me 1/2 hour in total to swap it all over. On the Mk3 it should be the same & Hardrace do an uprated one for the Mk3 but it is quite a bit more money!

Job done,very straight forward. Thanks everyone for the support, it was the nudge I needed to do it myself.
