Thanks guys. I've already eyeballed the puddles where it would have fallen. I'll get the magnet for the top. If I remove the pan, that necesitates draining all the oil first right? (I haven't done an oil change yet).

I'll make sure not to run anything until then. Hopefully it comes out relatively quickly

Can the pan on the 16 valve engine be pulled without removing the engine from the frame?

I did on my 700.

Thanks for the help guys, I was able to fish it out with the magnet. I think it was sitting on top of the cam chain down at the bottom of the case. Woo hoo!
