New owner don’t know anything about cars but I notice what I will post in the pictures, does anyone know what is that?

That is the RS ENGINE MOUNT -

Than you, who could be damage with only 50000 miles? Can any mechanic change that or should I take it to a ford dealer?

 

[Elina]

Yes, it could wear/fail at that mileage.

Do you have a shop that you trust?

I appreciate you answers, not really but there is Ford dealer that had good reviews. I know it will be more expensive but they will guaranty the job. I’m 70 and this is the first time I have to deal with car staff.

Oh gee, I hope you didn't think I was sounding condescending.

You just read countless posts describing bad dealer experiences and it worries you.

Sorry about that ...

Not at all, I worry about the dealers too!! That is why I wrote my post, to get a better idea of what was wrong with the car.

Looks like the hydraulic mount blew out.
It's earlier based on mileage than I'd expect, but it could have been nicked at some point when the vehicle was serviced.

Thank you!!

As mentioned it's one of the engine mounts. The mess around it is from fluid that is contained inside, the idea being the fluid filled mount is better at isolating vibrations than a solid rubber mount. For some reason it has failed and the hydraulic mount fluid has gone everywhere. They're sealed for life, so you need a new engine mount. Not a big job for any mechanical workshop.

This would appear to be the correct mount:
