No need to pull the engine. But you have to unbolt the motormount and lift the engine on one side to change the gasket. You should be able to just slide the gasket in and bolt the pan back up.
Have you tried tightening your bolts? Have heard of guys pulling the oil pan bolts, one at a time, cleaning them with brake clean and then reinstalling them with Blue Loctite (#242).

I changed my oil pan by just lifting the engine a few inches. Wasn't that big a deal at all, didn't even have to remove the pick-up tube. Just loosen the motor mounts and the trans mount before lifting. I actually made a bracket to mount to the engine so I could use a hydraulic jack instead of a engine hoist, that made it real easy.
