Hi there - there are actually 4 mounts that locate the engine/transmission as a unit. The top link (you’ve already identified) is, complemented by 3 additional mounts around the lower perimeter of the engine/transmission, attaching the unit to the frame. The engine/transmission will need to be supported from above before unbolting and removing these 3 mounts. For assistance with this task, I recommend a water pump replacement performed by a mobile, professional mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, who will come to your location, diagnose this problem, and give you an accurate assessment of damage and cost estimate for repairs.
