Without the transmission, you need to have a way to hook up a starter and be able to secure the engine. This is is very doable. If you're the kind of person who likes to experiment and tackle challenges, this will be it. You'll be needing a set-up some what like this:
After removing the engine from the car, you could determine where the leak/s are coming from without going to the hassle of mounting and starting the engine sans transmission. I wish you are located nearby and use my engine test stand.
