PS: You mention that exhaust leaks out through that spot as well. What type of exhaust tube does this engine have? Does it have the full tube that seals to the bottom of the exhaust housing with a rubber seal ring? Or, does is have the open megaphone? Unfortunately, exhaust leaking from the upper mount area through that rubber boots on the open megaphone engines is not uncommon. Most of the exhaust is directed away from the upper mounts and down through the thru prop exhaust when the "sealed exhaust tube" is used.
But, again, I am confused by what I was seeing in your picture, looked like the exhaust housing was actually broken/open where the rubber boot/seal rides on the upper mounts. Is this what I was actually seeing?
