Hi,
not a job I've done, but you'll need to remove the sump pan obviously..,

I seem to recall mention of the g-box / bellhousing fouling access to that side of sump pan:bang:

I'd just jack-up the front and just run around the seam of sump seeing how far it extends,

FYI , FIAT tend to use an RTV "Mastic" to BOND on the sump pans..can be WELL STUCK - no gasket paper
