get yourself a good magnet on a stick and throw the rubber thing away! they are average at the best of times.
good that you got it all sorted.
would pay you to sort out that gasket at some stage so shes not flooded again next time you open it up.
as for retightening plugs, if they are new you should do this :
turn by hand until it comes up firm
put on a 3/8 ratchet or bar and turn steadily until it comes tight. that is the point when the crush washer has collapsed and it is at the correct torque then.
if its a preloved plug, you need to use a torque wrench to reinstall it.
get yourself some antisieze paste to put on the threads for reinsertion. makes life soooo much easier.
