oil pan
There is one extra long bolt that holds a hard line that runs along the oil pan I believe on the driver's side. There is a little plastic insert that goes along the hard line so it does not rub and damage the line. Expect that plastic piece probably will be toast and will need to be replaced unless it has not been disturbed too much. If in a pinch you could cut / fab something up out of spare hose.
I think it is only 15nm torque on the 15+? screws - no need to gorilla, 40nm on the oil drain plug. If the screws look toast, Lowes actually had a nice selection of them (6mm thread I believe).
Use the top sider method for oil removal from here on out and you never have to touch that drain plug (and mar it) again!
