Motor Mount 88 V6

I need to replace the right (passenger side) motor mount on my 88 3.8 V6. I crawled inder and around it this last weekend but how to get to the rear bolt where the mound attached to the block wasn't obvious to me. Any suggestions how I do this?

Question changed

Last nigh I got in my driveway, heard a strange noise, Opened the hood and there was steam gushing from behind the pulleys so I guess it blew the water pump gasket. Time to get another car and decide what to do with this one. It ran so sweet too except using a little oil and a noisy RH motor mount.

I'm inclined to pull the motor totally and look into rebuilding it (New seals and gaskets) if I prove it is just the water pump gasket that went. I guess I'm lucky it got me home before that blew out as I travelled 45 mile from work to home.

If not maybe another motor, maybe scrap it??
