Ok, get some button magnets and put them on the outside of the pan. I know the main magnetic field will be thru the pan steel, but there sould be some fringing of the field that might snag the tap and hold it in place.

As others stated, small heavy metal parts can fall into the pan and never budge especially if there is a little sludge.

The motion of the crank is such that you don't have any lifting action for a part like that, small, slick and very dense for it's size, and the oil pump has an inlet filter screen designed to prevent such items from jamming it.

Now if you dropped it down the intake manifold then I'd worry.
