Yep, just went through this a month or so ago. The
oil had been leaking and then running down the frame rail to the rear of the car. And yep, the trans has to come out and be gutted to do it right. I had a shop do it and they photographed the whole process. My nice new leather seats removed, then trans tunnel removed to get to it. Kind of like watching sausage being made.

, but not a drop anymore from there. Of course, the FE still has it's issues with leaks, but I resigned to that years ago.
