Yeah, it was leaking.

Several of the YouTube channels I watch use this company for leaf springs.  Keith is local so maybe he knows more about them.

Interesting, thanks. 

The driver's side was, um, never going to seal. 

This PO continues to be the absolute best PO. Anti seize on the header bolts for the win!

The passenger side header will not come out as it sits. It seems I'll either have to notch the inner fender or lift/tilt the engine. Time will tell.

Well he didn't use anti seize on the driver's side but it wasn't an issue. I got the driver's side header out and confirmed that I ordered the correct gaskets but they are damaged.

With the header out I can now get a better view of the mount the PO whipped up and I really don't know how I'm going to be able to cut it out of there without removing the engine.

The lower portion is going to be especially difficult to get to. It may need to be some creative combination of a sawzall, angle grinder and Dremel but it's extremely tight in there.

 

Interestingly enough, before I clicked "Post" on this post, I did some more searching and just may have found a left and a right mount for ~$40 each and have ordered them because it's worth a shot. It would be amazing to just swap the rubber isolators around.
