 Nick, if you look at were the two oil cooler hoses connect at the engine just in back of the oil filter you will see they go into a "Flange"  on one side of the flange is the oil filter which seals with it's own O-ring on the other side of the flange it goes up against the oil pump, that is the area were there is also another O-ring, I change mine every other oil change otherwise it dry's out and leaks.

That O-ring can be found as I said on a Fram Oil filter PH3682 so you take the o-ring of the fram filter and use it on the flange, the only down side is that you end up tossing a perfectly good oil filter, by the way the filter fights a 94 Nissan maxima V6 I had one at one time and happened to be doing a oil change on both cars (JH) and Max and just noticed that the O-ring was the same so I have been using them ever since.

As for the drian plug seeing you have a new one coming vise grips or a pipe wrench should get it off, doesn't matter how much you chew up the old one as long as you get it off, good luck.
