I all, I’ve done a search and can’t find anything, got a fluid leak from the wiring loom connection on the gearbox I have a new sealing tube and this I believe is held in place by an internal clip accessed by removing the sump pan. My question is does the pan have to be removed or can it be manoeuvred enough to gain access to the clip? Don’t really want to change it for a steel one.

Thanks in advance Steve
