Is there any way to judge the deterioration of this grommet? I do not have the leak at the moment, but with the pan off and a big shipment from Fastlane coming, it may be prudent.

Mine is kind of spongy and I believe it's supposed to be hard rubber.
If you don't see a leak there I wouldn't worry yet. I would wait until you see the seal where the tube meets the engine looking wet with oil. You have another chance to do that job at every oil change.
Edit: One of the best tool investments I made was jack stands and a full size floor jack (4 ton from SEARS). They have made every job since their purchase much easier.
