Yes. I was told that's where my oil is leaking from and that I need to replace the o-rings for it.

Okay. Ya the o rings are I think that the dealership at least I got mine there. The pedestal has bolts on the under side and is fun to get off.

iirc you'll need a 10mm wrench and a lot of cussing to get the pedestal off.

Yes, a child with good mechanical skills and dexterity would be nice. Otherwise, just have patience.
