Default Dreaded core plug failure D5 2003

Just got back from a long trip and see the back door is covered in engine mist, so I am presuming that the dreaded core plug behind the flywheel may have come out. Very luckily there is still oil in the engine thank goodness.
Can I take the auto box out without taking the engine as well, or is it better to take both out together, but being a much bigger job?
If I can just take the auto box off the engine in situ, would I have to take the bevel box off first, as I need to do the coupling as well.
Any pointers would be gratefully received please

John
