If by damper you are meaning the motor mounts maybe your motor mounts are collapsed, and you need new ones.
If you are fooling around with a rotted-out grommet pieces of it will likely fall into the oil pan and you would need to get that out.
I remember putting the lower turbo drain tube and grommet in with the pan off from below. However, it was so long ago I cannot do any step-by-step description.
What I can remember is I had the grommet on the skinny part of the tubing I stuck the tube in from the top working the grommet in place but when it cam time to push the larger end of the tube with the O-ring up into the grommet I did that from below and used a socket to push it up from below. Everything was lubed with STP.
