I was lowering my '06 EX down after just finishing the 50k oil change/inspection when the jack slipped off the jack point (the one with the arrow in the front). Car dropped a few inches and pushed the jack back a couple inches catching somewhere near the oil pan/trans case which lifted the engine up as the car came down on its wheels. Some sort of fluid sprayed all over near the washer fluid fill. I think it might have been from the engine mount near there. There doesn't seem to be any damage from where the jack caught. Any idea of what the damage likely is and what things I should do/check for? Car seems to drive fine at this point, but I want to make sure everything is ok. Any help would be awesome!

That really sucks Check your engine mounts. I know the 7th gen ones have a gel filled mount on the drivers side of the car. Check that one, it could be where your fluid is coming from. Check the spot where the jack hit (which it seems you've already done). If there is no damage consider yourself very lucky. Jack stands are your friend, or were you just jacking it up at the time?

I had just removed the jack stands and was lowering it to the ground when jack slipped.
The jack point seems very poorly designed, after looking at it more closely afterward, it's not too surprising the jack slipped.

Is there anything that might have been damaged that wouldn't be very obvious?

Does fluid coming from the mount definitely mean it needs replacing?

Thanks!

Fluid coming from the mount is NOT a good thing and I would replace it
