Replacing sump gasket on td4.2

Hey all,
Looks like I've got a bit of oil leaking from around the sump, just wanting to know if this can be replaced without lifting the motor at all. Just by having a quick look, I reckon it shouldn't be too hard, but thought there would be plenty of people here that have done it themselves.

thanks.
Dave.

could you change a sump on a TD42 on a GU without removing the donk? or only change a gasket?

you can remove gu and gq without removing engine. just jack the chassis away from the diff to make it slide out easyer
