My 2006 Jetta TDI with 5-speed manual is leaking at the VW cover on the bottom. There is very little information available on the best way to repair. The Bentley book does not address transmission repair at all. Can someone guide me with a step by step? Does the transmission need to be locked to remove the cover, will it break anything to remove the cover and what is the best sealant to use? What is the VW recommended oil to refill with. Picture of cover and car attached.

I did find a link to the cover on ebay that has good pictures of what's on the other side. The manual calls it a sealing cap and a good technical description would be a selector shaft sealing cap. The VW part number is 02A 301 252 D. It does not look like it has a gasket or O-Ring to seal.

Good photos here while the ad exists:
