you can't usually tell by looking when the mount is still on the car. assume 
that the passenger side mount is bad though; it almost certainly is unless 
the owner was one of us :)

flex joint is right below where the exhaust manifold attaches to the 
downpipe. you might be able to tell if it's leaking by feeling around for 
any leaks; usually though you can hear an exhaust leak. at the flex joint, 
it will probably sound worse under hard acceleration.
