Clocking turbo...bolt issue

I lost one of the bolts that goes to clocking the turbo. Will this cause a HUGE exhaust leak or am I ok until I can replace it later?

Depends, on some housings one of the bolt holes goes right into the volute of the turbo. Just make sure it's not that one and you'll be fine for a few days. I have been running w/o one bolt for over 20k miles but obviously that's not ideal.
