The job actually was'nt as bad as I originally thought, good planning helped alot.
1/ Drain oil and remove transfer case driveshaft, then oil filter, let drain for an hour.
2/ refit oil filter and sump plug, then degrease entire engine, let dry remove oil filter.
3/ open ended spanner for bottom of oil return, 3/8 150mm extension for top bolts (easy). remove pipe, clean all sufaces after removing paper gaskets. check for clean.
4/ Cut paper gaskets insuring the top bolt holes are smaller so the bolts dont fall out.
Using high temp silicone to re-install and if your lucky like me, everything just clicked into place.
5/ Road test, bugger oil still leaking.
6/ Spend the rest of the weekend to find the other leak, as I said in earlier posts I had my transmission replaced by a mechanic, the leak was between the bellhousing and trans.
7/ Check invoice.
8/ Relief.
9/ Rear oil seal was replaced by them.
10/ Take to mechanic for them to replace at no charge (thank god) he was very understanding but should be to as I've spent a small fortune there over the years.
