Oil Pan Gasket
Removing the lower pan should be duck soup.
Drain oil,
Remove screws holding lower pan to upper pan. Be sure you get all of them.
Remove and clean pan. Scrape the sealing surface clean
Clean pan rail with alcohol.
Use a gasket with a tiny bid of gasket sealer. I think there is a gasket available for these cars. If so use it. Or get a tube of anaerobic sealer an use it to form a gasket.
re-install
Because you drained the oil, replace the oil filter to.

1. Felpro on amazon lower oil pan gasket doesn't fit.
2. There isn't clearance to take off all of the bolts/pan due to the cross member. So if finding a suitable spot to lift the engine\tranny scares you, this isn't the job for you.
3. Torque for bolts is 66 inch lbs.
4. If the threads are messed up on any of the bolts just buy new ones. They are 83 cents at the Toyota dealer.
Any other questions?
