Default Hydramount?

Daft question , does the hydramount contain fluid? and can it leak??
Had my aircon regassed recently, and found some fluid around the hydramount. I thought it might have been fluid from the aircon, but now I'm not sure
As always, advice gratefully received

I'm sure I remember a post about that mount containing glycol, but I know they can and do leak some kind of fluid when they split, someone will confirm or correct me I have the MGR tool for mount removal if you need a loan of it Ronnie, you are more than welcome.

Appreciate that Lee might take you up on that after a bit more investigation

Yeah, I'm sure they do have fluid or gel in them. Something tells me it might be silicone and it does leak out when the mount fails.

I think Trikey or Arctic said something on here about leaking hydramounts.----

Yes…they do contain fluid, and can leak.
There was a thread on here not so long ago, which discussed as to wether you should hear the fluid of a new one sloshing about when shaken (possibly particular to diesel models?).
I had a new one in the shed which did make the sloshing sound.
