I have no idea where that pin came from and you now have bigger problems with running the car without the drive shaft attached. There are only two pins in the parts diag., 70 and 140. You will just have to figure it out.
This is what happens when you want to tackle things that you have no experience with.

Maybe if i install the shaft it will be ok ?! it should be here by the end of the week.
What can happen if i started the car and changed from park to drive or reverse without the shaft?

Got the driveshaft today, installed it and clicking noise went away 
i can sleep at night now.
The pin, when it fell out i pushed it back right-away, it fell out about 3 times. so i thought maybe that was the cause of the clicking noise, but i guess it was the shaft.. Now i know not to shift any gears without the shafts.
Now i guess ill find out if OEM pan gasket and that side seal will fix the leak, just have to paint the rear bumper and reinstall it and start driving.

After driving for few days no more leak, it was definitely that little O-ring on the driver side and i used OEM oil pan gasket. Very happy with the result, Thank you Mr Dundee!!!!
