Probably not a good idea. Now that the brake fluid has swollen the leaking rear main it has also swollen the seals that weren't leaking. Expect to have to replace all the rubber seals now including the valve stem seals. Not smart.

The Cummins uses a one piece rear main seal so the transmission has to come out.
