Removing the engine!

Sounds like light bulb replacement on a Phaton, or is that Beetle?

replace them is by removing the engine...

Sorry to hear of your bad luck... :(

Upon further inspection, it does appear to be leaking from where the seal
contacts the shaft. I've also noticed there is bit of play (wiggle) in the
intermediate shaft. Have the bearings gone bad causing it to leak at the
seal?
Thanks again...

>a few weeks ago, the little keyway on the intermediate gear shaft sheared
off and took ou the seal with it, producing a good size oil leak. Well I
replaced the seal, put everything back together again, and it still leaked
at the exact same spot. So, I replaced the seal again today, and it is still
leaking in the same spot.

actually leaking along the outside edge of the seal where it contacts the
seal carrier, not the inside edge that seals on the shaft.
