oil pan

oil pan
car is voyager III from 1997, 2,4 liter engine and manual transmission.
I bumped the oil pan and now it's leaking oil. the pan is not cracked, but I can see oil stains around rear main oil seal, where engine is attached to gear box. so I suspect that the pan is twisted and that new gasket and straigtening the pan would solve the problem.
for those of you who have done that job:
-there is no need to dissassemble engine from the gearbox? right?
-other then oil pan gasket, I don't need any more gaskets?
-is it a normal gasket?
-as I saw, only front engine mount should be taken off?
-is there anything else I should know?
thanks.

RE: oil pan
to anyone who is interested.
oil pan was removed, cleaned, fixed, installed back on with new gasket.
to do it, I had to remove front engine mount and rear coupling (connects engine and gear box). thats all.
after test drive to warm the engine and the oil, no leaks.
everything is dry and working in order.
