The adventure is over.

Wondering what condition the foil was in (e.g. chewed up or just sitting there or stuck to the pickup tube).
What did you use to seal the pan, dreibond, loctite?
Any pictures?

The foil did not appear to have been chewed up at all, as if it just flowed down to the pan on an unobstructed flow of oil. I used permeatex high temp black gasket sealant, it is working fine thus far. No pics - not much to see other than a circle of foil that drove me nuts for 3 weeks!

I just breathed a sigh of relief! Now drive on!
