Pan is out.  Gasket is a real SOB to keep inplace for reinstall, so couple
dots of permatex and sitting for a minute then will put back in.  How can I
get more fluid out <If you're just dropping the pan I think you only drain
about 3.5 qts. Measure what comes out and put that much back in as a start,
then run it til warm and top it off. >
Otherwise, I will do as stated below.  Thanks all.
