Hi there,
I did the oil pan gasket and my torque wrench hadn't been calibrated for a long time. So I "overtorqued" the 8 ftlbs or 11 NM. You then also bend the oil pan edge.
I have now a torque wrench that lets me do inchlbs. They are easily overtorqued.
If memory serves me right, some cooler lines are connected to the bolds that hold the oil pan on the driver side. I couldn't find a better picture, but this one shows some connection and a spacer. You will see it once you look at it closely.
Good luck
