The Lower right pulley that's next to the crank pulley, what is it called? How do I take it off?
What would happen if a ONLY a few drop leaked out (it's not leaking) I just unscrewd a wrong bolt and some liquid started to leak out so I tighten it back up. Just trying to take it off so I could drop the oil pan because it's in the way.

The big pulley next to the crank pulley is the water pump, it is held on by 3 10mm bolts. Saying that, you should not need to touch the water pump pulley for the oil pan removal, I can't see how removing it will help with the oil pan removal. You can remove the oil pan entirely from below the engine without touching any pullies.

You sure you're not talking about the AC compressor right?

^ that would be two pullies over from the crank, but yeah he may have opened up a bolt on the refrigerant system, which would seep out.

To remove the oil pan, simply remove the two lower bolts under the A/C bracket, the A/C compressor is not moved or disassembled in any manner. I believe they are 12mm bolts, and they are accessed from underneath the engine, you don't remove anything from above.

Yes the ac compressor! Is it bad that it leaked out a bit? & I do need to remove it to get to my oil pan because it's blocking two bolts I can't get to die to small space.

All you need to remove the two lower a/c bracket bolts is a ratcheting box end wrench with a flexible head, once you get the two lower bolts out of the a/c bracket it will release the oil pan. You don't touch the upper two bolts ( 4 bolts in total on the a/c bracket), all done from underneath the engine.

All you need to remove are the two lower 14mm head bolts.

The little triangle bracket with the 3 12mm bolts will stay with the oilpan.
