Wow that sounds drastic but sometimes the only way to go, or are you taking it out for other reasons?

There isn';t a lot holding the engine in To get to the main oil leak it may be revealed by taking out the grearbox, clutch and flywheel. But to change the sump gasket need to drop the front suspension while holding the engine up, as the crank is a longer throw now, there is a chance that I cannot remove the sump to change the one piece gasket.
So it may be worth while just taking the engine out, 3 bolts and a few wires are all that hold the engine and gearbox in the car. A good chance for a good inspection all over.
