You can take off the starter to look at the flex plate to torque converter bolts but to check the flex plate to crank bolts or cracked flex plate you either have to drop the tranny or pull the motor.

Edit:or you might be able to fit a flex camera in there to take a look i don't remember how much clearance there is with the starter removed.
