Re: common problem or no???
Common problem. I think everyone who owns a Grand Prix at one time or another will need to change these gaskets. This is especially true if you are running synthetic oil. You will need to remove the mount on the passenger side of the car. You can leave the other mount in place and you shouldn't have any issues that would require you to have to support the engine as these are for torque control mostly when the engine is running. When you change the gaskets you will need to remove the ignition module. Make sure when you reinstall it that you do not overtighten it as it is easily broken.
You will also need a set of deep well sockets to get the bolt that holds the mount onto the engine. This is not a hard job but is time consuming. You may want to change the lower radiator hose while you are there since you have to remove the same parts to get to it. Just a thought to save you some time and hassle.
