that is the CORRECT way to do it! no need to waste time or sweat your ass off with no crowbar s***!
the MSP mount is an upgrade if you drive a stick

Found the camera (yeah!)
Sorry it's a little blurry- it's hard to get a picture of that spot!

My passenger side recently tore, and I can verify that it was liquid filled. I have that same nasty brown fluid all over it. If I can work around all the blocked sites at work, I'll get some pics up.
Wildo,
I don't think fluid is causing that. Our Protege5 is doing it in the same spot and there is NO fluid leaking in that area. However, when I checked inside the fenderwell there is a seem that is welded right there that you can see stains from where rust is leaking out through it (with the help of water) and I think that is what's causing it.
I ordered some POR15 so I can attack the rust when I get the product. My plan is to knock away as much rust as I can, clean it, and seal it with the POR15 inside the engine bay. For the fender well I'm going to try to look for a sealent that can cling to the crap Mazda sprays in there. Eastwood offers a rust encapsulating liquid that might just do the job!
Will it fix the problem entirely? No. Will it hopefully slow it down? That's the plan!
You might be able to verify that it was liquid filled, but have you owned the car since it was new, or can verify that the mount was stock some other way? Just saying "I know the mount was OEM" isn't proof enough for me

I have this exact same problem in the exact same spot, but I don't have any rust in my wheel well. I find it weird that of all the welds, only this one would rust inside the engine bay.
