Sump removal CXEC with DSG and 4Motion

[IJD]

2019 CXEC with 4Motion and DSG, at 55k is starting to weep oil out of crank oil seal at pulley end. Am experienced mechanic and prepared to complete myself when do timing belt. However manual says flywheel has to come off to release a couple of the sump bolts. Anyone done this and if so are there any workarounds to this or do I really have to take DSG off too?
Thanks
Ian
