need help now!

OK,
Swapping out some by-passes, i was following the DIY and lifted the car from the motor... I almost had the right side muffler out so i lifted a bit more, maybe a total of 6 ".. On the passenger side, the engine mount begun to poor black fluid... in pics... so i finished the job, removed the lift and used the driver side jack position to remove other muffler... Once i had removed the jack from under engine no leak what so ever (even while i had lifted the driver rear tire).. what can it be, is it safe to drive?

Cool

Sounds like you ruptured a motor mount and it will have to be replaced.

Why not use the jack points on the rear side?

You can....but if your motor mounts are old, this is what can happen.

I'd drive it easy to the repair shop.
