Hey all, I'm new here,and I need some help. I have a 2006 GT Convertible 5 Speed, no mods. Last week I noticed a pronounced clunking sound/feel from the right front wheel in left turns under acceleration. The car has 36,750 or so miles on it - so I went to the dealer to have it looked at. The dealer determined that there was a slow leak of gear oil that "eroded" (for lack of a better word) the transmission mount and the ruuber part of the mount was basically gone. What's aggravating about this is that the car is only 18 months old, I have a long commute to work, and I put about 300+ miles on it a week. The dealer won't fix it under warranty because of the miles and no one at Ford seems to give a cr-p. Has anyone experience this problem before? Does anyone know enough about transmission mounts to determine if the gear oil could have destroyed the mount in the last 3 weeks, or is it pretty clear that this started before the warranty expired? Any help I could get would be great. Thanks.

the mount rubber

what i'm wondering.....is it the Extension housing seal
that's leaking, or is it the speed sensor O-ring
