Fluid leaking is the direct indication it's bad. There's no fluid from anything else in that area that would leak. When I first got my car and found fluid after I jacked it up I thought it was running out from puddling somewhere in the car. Found later that it only happened on same side and only when jacking. Went with solid mounts and have no complaints. NVH is not a factor. Even if it was, mechanical sounds don't bother me :-)
I like to think of it as "noise & vibration = harmonics" just like a guitar. That way I don't let the inherent mechanical sounds annoy me. When the windows start to fall out from vibration, then I know I've over done it. :-)
Shifting is fine. My only issue is once in a while it pops out of reverse when I'm trying to back out of the garage. No issue with shifting under load.
bringing back an old thread, but is gear pop out as mentioned above a sign or worn engine mounts?

Funny thing is that you revive a thread where (just saw it for first time) the OP starts asking if his mounts are dead.
But his mounts are carrera 4 and there is no liquid in those, and they practically are endless.
So to the OP I would answer, NO , it's not your mounts that is making your gear pop out.
But with you gbx, need to check yours if you have a 993 2WD

AWD has different mounts? Had no idea. Perhaps this explains why the ones we took off of 97 C4S looked perfecly fine. Mine on c4s are still fine as well.
The mounts on my old C4 were shot. I replaced them with blue wevos and the shifting was much smoother. Here's a shot of the old blown out motor mounts.

Yes, bad motor mounts can make gear pop. As the mounts age and sag, the motor falls down and stresses where the motor/tranny join. I replaced my mounts, got a GoldenRod, and replaced the tranny fluid and each step by itself helped gear pop. Doing all 3 things made it almost non-existent.

good to know. My next update will consist of warlord bushings, golden rod and probably C4 mounts.

Yes. C4 mounts are supposed to be somewhere in between C2 mounts which are liquid filled and therefor softer and RS which are solid rubber and much firmer.
