Well, I don't have a Leica, so I can't tell you for sure on them.
However, most all the other rangefinders I've seen have ports somewhere.
Very often, the vertical adjustment port is under the shoe.  If there is an
extra hole under there, it is probably a port to the vertical adjustment
screw.  If there are two ports under there, then on is vert and one is
horiz.
  Often the horizontal port is somewhere else.  On my Canon 7, it is
covered by a small screw in the front next to the viewfinder.  On my Konica
IIIMs, it is under a big screw on the back of the top plate.  I think my
Konica II and III have both under the shoe.
   Does anyone here know where they are on Leicas?
