Yep, it'll be the bottom mount I'm afraid, you'll need to do something about it before it breaks the flexible section on your exhaust.

it was the lower engine mount but it had not failed, the bolt had fallen out and the exhaust had snapped and then the back box dropped off so now looking at £150 to fix
