Guys can I remove the sump with the engine in place? It's leaking quite bad and making a real mess.

Yes, but you will need to remove the prongeron which is connected to the front suspension.
The Service Manual has all of the instructions. Download it and follow it.

I removed the prongeron yesterday.
If the car is in the air it is a 30 min. job. Don't forget to support the suspension and temporarily put the aft bolt of the raft back in (hand tight)
