If you go underneath your car and look at the pan, you will see its attached by small bolts all around (10mm). When you remove them all, with a big flat screwdriver you tap it from a side and you pry it down. The pan might be difficult to remove and stick even with all bolts removed, you might need to apply some force to it. Do it from the side, where the timing belt is located at. Remove the wheel first. What i usually do to remove a pan is that i first use a flat screw driver, i tap it with a hammer so it can go in, i pry a little and then i use something thicker and pry it totally down. You will see the pan bends, dont worry, you fix it with a plier. To put it back on is basically the same process. I´ve seen gaskets for pans around, but i use mega gray silicone, and it holds pretty well with no leaks.
