Rear beam mount or top mount.
But I would firstly check to see if the exhaust is loose.

Could a leaky shocker be the cause ?

Possibly but you'd notice that more as the back end would feel all loose and wallowy, the previous posts are more likely as the rear suspension on a mk3 is pretty simple.

I know my shocker is leaking looked at it today and there's more fluid out of it than in it

There you go then best get it changed as its a dead easy job to do and your probably better off changing both sides and the top mounts too then you'll know its all shipshape.

I would also change the spring plates as they rot through

[tweed]

f**k it buy a fall shock and spring set up with new top mounts

Just a thought but is it a GTi/VR?
