Will report back.
UPDATE: crankcase valve drain hose clipped in!! Torquing down oil pan bolts now. Will double check once oil is in and running.
UPDATE 2 (final): NO LEAKS! Let the car run for 5 mins paying particular attention around the crankcase vale drain hose - all clear. Gasket is looking solid as well.
TIP - you can seat/clip the crankcase valve drain hose to the oil pan tube (if ur car has one) by removing the steering fluid reservoir moving it out of the way and reaching from above and pushing it down onto the oil pan tube - u will hear an audible "click"
Thank you all!!

Excellent! I'm glad everything worked out well with the repair. Let's not forget Krashfinatic wrote a great original DYI for all of us to follow and add too.
