There are 2 bolts from the valve body in the pan and the rest of the bolts were loose.

How many miles on it?

I also read not to drop the pan to service. Looks like you made a good choice.

Maybe that's because they don't want people finding bolts in it?

those automotive engineers are such funny guys; they are always leaving extra nuts and bolts around just to give you something to think about. You find them on a lot of jobs
