I wouldn't pull it till I could confirm where the oil is coming from. The FOM and COM transmissions have a rear pump in that tail housing so there are more transfer passages due to that. That one big transfer tube that connects to the valve body has to come out to be able to pull the tail housing out. Once it was out of the way then the transmission can come out followed by the tail housing.

The engine would require some form of support but it can be done. Still easier than pulling the engine.
