Well I'm pretty upset this bad info is out there, I did a lot of research before replacing my motor mount and this is the first time I am hearing using a jack from the bottom to support the engine is a bad idea. I wouldn't have done it that way if I had known it could crack the oil pan. I'll be adding this as an inspection item when I change my oil.

That said, I have not noticed an issues with my car since replacing the motor mount. I used a 2x4 to spread the weight out. If it starts leaking I guess that's my excuse to replace the oil pan with a baffled X51 kit.
