Default cam seal leak & bolt removal

I was changing my cam seal and I accidently broke one of the bolts which my cam seal sits under... I still have a leak i guess its due to the this...what would i have to do to take out the other half of the bolt which is still stuck in the hole?
thanks
Danny

Some suggestions are here:

You can try an EZ-out (sp?), which is basically a left-handed drill bit.

but the top of the bolt broke off...so there is no way of grabing the bolt...
maybe would have to drill it straight threw or something?
what do you think? Thanks for the reply...

That's what Easy Outs are designed for. You basically drill into the broken bolt until the remover catches. Then you use it to turn the broken bolt.

the same thing happened to me a few months ago. just do what he said. get the screw out and reverse drill it out. you might have to retap the hole to a bigger set of threads. Or, go to a local mechanic and have them do it for you.
