Does this engine mount look good to you?

R55 S N18
I just changed the crank seal & gave the engine mount a quick inspection. Didn't see any cracks, leaks (that's water in the vid), or signs of age, but it seemed looser than other mounts I'm used to. I know sometimes mounts sag and wear out before failure. Car seems fine otherwise, I'm just doing routine maintenance.
I have a noise to chase down (minor vibration/buzz at acceleration at lower RPM, like a heatshield), I've found some mentions of a dipstick rattling causing a similar complaint.
I also have a Powerflex lower engine mount insert (the softer/street version) which won't be helping. I didn't check the driver side mount.
Thanks for the guides on the crank seal, it was a lot smoother than expected. I spent more time cleaning grime out of the engine bay and washing my arms than working on the car. For such a small car it sure does find a lot of places to hide
