If the oil pan is not leaking where it is sealed, again don't worry about it. Pulling that pan means destroying it in the removal process as the OE sealant sets up like concrete.........literally. If you have further questions feel free to PM me.

Thanks. The saving grace is that it's definitely in bottom of pan already and I see no way for it to move elsewhere, other than get stuck to the screen and it's way too small to block any flow.
