I just did mine yesterday (well half of it, I will finish today). I know you aren't doing the whole job, but only sealing what you have there now. I would suggest against that, and admonish you to do it right. If done right, and you have the tools and gaskets/seals, it should take less than a half hour, and can be done with no bloodletting or cursing. The list by SD Blue is very close to the way I have done it with a few minor exceptions. Rather than pulling on the tube with a rope, removing the old grommet allows the tube to be pulled out easily. Also, when installing all the parts, I suggest NO OIL of any kind. It seems that if there is any oil between the rubber and mating surfaces, oil will continue to leak past. At first, I did these without any lube (everything clean and dry), but now I use Gasgacinch on all the rubber parts against clean mating surfaces. I also glue the drain tube gasket to the tube with the Gaskacinch (coat both surfaces, let dry, then place gasket on the tube). The Gasgacinch also acts as a lubricant to allow the grommet to slide on the tube easily, and into the pan. I find it easier to put the Orings on the tube first, and then slip the grommet on the tube over and past the Oring in it's groove. If you use 1/4" drive tools for the drain tube bolts, it is easy an fast to do this job.
