Default Engine Mount good or bad

I know it is hard to tell by looking at a picture but if you have an opinion please share. I have been doing some major front end and power steering and have everything off and rack out so I was able to get a picture of the left side. My question is does the lines of stains going down the mount look like one you have replaced. When I bought the car the high pressure PS hose was spraying fluid everywhere so could be from that but I have my suspicion that this is the leaking fluid from the engine mount from long ago like I have read about in other posts. I am leaning toward changing it since rack is out of the way I was already going to be rigging up the engine support to do the other side that is clearly broken. I will also attach a picture of right side where you can see the cracking in the rubber for comparison.

Right side clearly broken




Left side looking questionable.

In my opinion also the left side is toast. If the mess were from the high pressure hose one would expect to see these lines of stain also on the top cover of the mount, not just on the metal body.

Cheers
