the car was involved in a collision and now the trans plug is loose and i think may be broken or the seal is. oil is leaking from around the plug the only way i can see to check it out is take the valve body out.

you still shouldn't have to drop the valve body to replace it. it has an O-ring around it to seal. if it's broke take it out from teh top but be careful to not damage any wires.i've makrked the part that you say is bad and it looks like the most you'll have to do is maybe pull the filter off and out of the way to replace that.
