There's no ATF reservoir. If you been putting ATF fluid in the Power Steering Reservoir you might have just screw up the power steering system. Or you may have lucked out if the power steering system uses ATF instead of Pentosin hydraulic fluid CHF 11s. The cap on top of the reservoir will indicate which fluid to use.

If you are replacing the oil seal between the oil filter housing and engine block, you don't need to remove the metal pan.

If you are doing an oil change, you don't need to remove the metal pan.
