Hydro bushings?

JonF3015 · 12-07-2022, 01:42 PM

Hey y’all. Does the F30 have hydro bushings in the rear? Jacked my card up to do a B14 install and saw this.

Thanks.

Looks like it's wet above the bushing and running down the subframe, also red-ish in color. Coming from the diff?

Yeah that’s a thought I had. But this bushing is to the left of the Dif. Only thing above it is the floorboard.

In your photos, it looks like it's wet above and to the right of the bushing where the small arrow is. Which would make me think it's running down the subframe from the direction of the large arrow.

Hard to tell from the pictures though

Doesn't appear that bushing is fluid filled

No, there are no fluid filled bushings on the rear end. Have you checked out the front end? When I had a proper oil leak from the oil pan it built up and eventually ran back pretty far on the undercarriage. Not quite that far, but still.

As per Jvac's comment, there aren't any hydro bushes in the rear of the car.

Unless it's just water my first suggestion would be a diff leak.
