For a clutch or tranny work I would always pull the rear end, but if the flywheel cover needs to be removed, then I'd pull the engine, since the flywheel cover has the two rear motor mounts on it.

Be sure to locate the leak before you pull the engine. As some have said, it might only be a valve cover or drain pipe. If you pull the engine, then do as Rawhidekid said to the radiator, and I'd block off the inlet and outlet and let the block soak with RUST911 or Evaporust.
