Brett,
If you've got a chain hoist or and engine hoist to lift the engine up a few inches, you can do this job yourself. When I bought my 93, within a week of having it, I noticed the same thing and let it slide for a month or so only to have the engine belt hit the overflow tank hard enough to knock it loose, and before I knew it, the belt had worn a hole in the side of the tank.
Just hook a chain to the engine and lift it a little then unbolt and work out the bolts on the engine mounts. Everything should go right back together.
Good luck.
