Tomorrow I'm going to either lift the engine or drop the transmission to
replace the rear crankshaft seal (GA15DE - for practical purposes,
almost the same as more common GA16DE).
I'm 99% sure it's the rear crank seal, but there's always a chance it
isn't. After giving it a good clean, there's a constant drip from the
drain hole next to the inspection plate on the bottom of the bellhousing.
I know I can get the engine out separate from the trans - there's enough
room to shift it left a few inches to clear from the trans (I've done it
before). The worst part IMO is dealing with A/C and PS pumps,
alternator etc - oh and it means removing only one axle, rather than both.
I just have a fear that if I drop the transmission, then I'll either do
the seal but miss seeing somewhere else where it's leaking engine oil,
or I'm going to be working with bad access and stuff up the new seal
installation.
So what would you do - drop the trans or lift the engine? I have a
workshop at home with a pit, a crane, stands etc.

Thanks - I have the FSM.
Engine is out - about 4 hours. The seal was leaking badly - as I
expected. There's a bit of seepage round the sump, so I'll reseal that
too. I damaged the rubber boot on the lower suspension arm ball joint,
but I think I can get a replacement boot. Apart from that no real problems
