Good job: I think the official method does require removing the driver side oops USA bias showing: Port side ;-) axle to enable lifting the engine a bit to get some bolt out.

The leak was between the alternator bracket and the block. Oil will pour out at about an ounce per second! It took a quart of oil to move the car from one house to the house two doors over where it was going to get worked on!
