If you've got the manifolds off, here's a good way -

Otherwise use duct tape. A spray paint can cap fits over the intake if I recall correctly. You might be able to find a plastic glass that fits the openings as well.
Here's a solution to the stock turbo drain design that makes replacement easy and leaks a thing of the past.
The solution uses a custom AN-10 fitting that installs in the upper oil pan, shown in the center of the above image. The fitting on the turbo is replaced with a standard -10 fitting readily available on eBay or your local speed shop. A standard -10 steel braided hose is made up to connect the two.
If anyone has ever replaced the stock grommets they'll appreciate the ability to replace the drain tube with just a simple wrench and make up a new hose by reusing the AN hose ends.
I now have a lathe and can make oil pan fittings if desired.
