There are two welsh plugs at the back of the engine: one in the back of the head and another at the back of the block which would be covered by the bellhousing.

Flywheel needs to be removed. I don't think it would be an easy job replacing the welsh plug with the engine still in. You might get to the plug from underneath the car when the engine leans back on it's mounts (after gearbox is removed), but I've never given it a try this way. I'd recommend taking the engine out to do the job.

Cheers
Jamie
