I was wondering there is 4 bolts connecting to the oil pan that connects to the transmission. I would assume you do not have to support the transmission to remove the oil pan because the torque strut and trans mount is supporting the transmission? Any idea?

I also need info on what the torque specs is for the oil pan bolts.

You will need to remove the transmission oil pan bracket here are the instruction for doing the job with the oil pan bolt torque specs as well. I would start by draining the oil and disconnecting the battery. Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
