cars shaking like crazy (motor mount?)

So my car started shaking a few days ago, only when i got on the gas real hard. Now, I want to be clear here, it *only* shakes when im giving it gas. It doesnt matter if im going 120mph, as soon as i let off the gas, clutch engaged or not, it stops. I did some poking around last night and discovered fluid coming out of my passenger side motor mount. I checked all my lug nuts, tyrods, bushings, anything i could get my hands on. All the wheels off the ground did not move, shake, rattle, nothing. everything felt solid. I'm pretty sure the problem is the motor bouncing around under torque. either way, i ordered a new mount today, hopefully have it in next week.

SOOO, what do you guys think? all feed back is highly appreciated.

I just had the axles replaced with zzp stage 1 2-3 weeks ago. There is def fluid inside the stock mounts, intake is clean, motor/trans dont leak nothing, car stays in the garage.

sorry for crappy phone pic, but thats all i got. You can see it in my gallery better most likely. If you look at the bottom right of the mount, there is oil coming out of it

does it do it when your clutch isn't engaged and your stepping on the gas?

nope, but the way i figure is that there really isnt any torque on the motor without the clutch being engaged

Dipstick popping out ?! supercharger oil ? both happened to me....the mount might have liquid in it, but i dont know i never did any research on that hence my " i think statement " but the easter bunny doing it sounds good as well lol...

do you have a friend that can rev the motor for you while you look to see where it is moving?

i tried having a friend rev it up, it moved, but nothing crazy, i think most the movement is only happening while the motor has a load on it. dip stick is fine, super charger is fine, there is only oil directly under the mount and thats it. it came out of the front and the back of the mount and leaked down the frame.
