drivers side engine mount

so i changed the pass. mount and was looking at the driver. and i noticed that the engine block drain goes through it. so my question is does it have to come out? (the drain that is) so i can change the drivers mount or can i just undo the 3 bolts and slide it over and out?

also i might have gotten some oil on the pass. mount. think that will hurt it? schould i take it out and wipe it off or just not worry about it.

Thanks guys!

Don't worry about the oil.

Or, you can just take off the two nuts on the mount itself, if all you want to do is check it.

no i alreaddy have the mount. just got to change the drivers side whenever i get some time. maybe friday if it isnt raining.

btw the car drives so much better with just the one mount changed. If any one doesnt like the way there clutch engages or the way there car's drivetrain feels i suggest changing the engine mounts. really was a huge diffrence
