No, I dont think you'll gain access from above, the jacking point is part of the chassis sub structure that welds to the floor, effectivly making it double skinned.

Had the same on mine, was a hole in the floor because of a leaking bonnet release cable grommet.
Worth checking to stop it soaking your floor again.
