I still have not checked for misfires, but I will get to it this weekend.

Thanks for all the replies. I hope with help of a little mirror I could inspect the front mount.
The sides, or rather tranny mounts, are oil filled. How one can tell if it is shot? I did not really see any oil tracks, but they could have been shot for a while and all oil was washed off. Especially that I drove about 500 miles in rain and about 150 in snow. Heck, beginning of May and it was snowing in OH...
Anyway, the nuts appear to be the original ones (the torx type).

Finally, so there are two side mounts, one for the engine - what is in the back then? There seem to be a cradle or something going towards the bumper.
I did not have a chance yet to crawl under to inspect.
