Re: Oil Leak resulting from motor mount repl.
If you look at the picture, I couldn't slide the bolt from the motor
mount because the filter mount was in the way.
I guess I probably didn't have to move it, I could have undone the motor
mount-to-frame bolts and raised the engine up. That probably would have
been easier and made more sense...
I just wasn't thinking in terms of raising/lowering the engine - I was
already in move-stuff-out-of-the-way-mode since I had to move a lot of
the a/c hoses and such just to get a wrench in there.
I guess I'll just have to chalk this one up to experience.
Not planning on driving it until I fix this.

Re: Oil Leak resulting from motor mount repl.
Replace the filter. As a rule of thumb, unless the fitler is near new, if
you have to remove it for some reason, go ahead and replace it.

Re: Oil Leak resulting from motor mount repl.
The filter is almost brand new, I put it on maybe a week ago, and
obviously haven't put too many miles on it.
