Yeah I've pulled my tranny 4 times since nov. It sucks, but not terrible. I've become extremely efficient at it. Takes about three beers and two hours.
1.tighten flywheel bolts
2.replace flywheel bolts
3.replace rear main
4. REAR MAIN HOUSING SEAL, that's what was actually leaking. Frustrating as hell, but she's good now.

I don't have time like that lol only because my SC is my only car.
When you say the rear main housing, you're talking about the metal piece around the rear main seal itself? Just making sure. How is it installed or sealed with, like with FIPG? Does it require the second oil pan removed?
Red300, I checked the valve cover on mine. I used a mirror and a flashlight to see the backside against the firewall, virtually dry. Especially on the topside of the bellhousing, it's clean.
I just ordered genuine Lexus parts. So far: rear main seal, seal housing, clutch fork, clutch fork ball, slave cylinder and a neutral safety switch for the pedal (mines becoming faulty). I need to find where to buy the pressure plate bolts and flywheels bolts, probably just get it at a dealer. And then a nee clutch and flywheel, both will be upgraded. SPEC 2 clutch, maybe Fidanza or SPEC flywheel.
All because of a likely bad rear main seal. Change the things that would need changing anyways since it all has to come out. I never replaced the clutch yet since I bought the SC back in September 2012. Not 100% if the previous owners did either. Sure be damned if the clutch has the same miles as the whole car... 314k miles.
My 1uz is a leaking all over. Going to put it in a shop that I am confident can do the job right. New valve cover gaskets, oil pan, front and rear main seals, engine pull and reinstall. $1500.00
