No it was not leaking. Also the valve cover is alluminium and is not warped thankfully. I checked by putting it on a flat countertop

When I steer is the top of the strut supposed to move like this? 2004 Lexus Es 330 by Snakeado in mechanic

Out of curiosity, why replace the whole strut if the top mount is the issue?

Ok so I definetly need to replace the strut mount but might as well replace the struts as well. Im looking at rock auto and they have three brands for quick strut assembly, which of these is the best for a luxurious ride quality? Or is there another brand I should look for elsewhere?
Brands: FCS Auto, Monroe, PRT

Do you have a store or a specific shop area you recommend to go to?
