yes make sure you put a bunch of rags under it... I didn't and now I have a big mess all over my garage floor. 
I just replaced my screen with a brand new one a few weeks ago... old one had never been changed or cleaned I'm sure, and it was CRUSTAY! The gasket was very brittle.

not funny but lol, sunsabitch
add oil to the proper level start the car and see if it leaks. If not then you should be good but get it fixed sooner then later! if just the head of the bolt snapped off then take the vtec selinoid back off and get some vise grips and lock onto the shaft of the bolt that is still sticking out and unscrew it. if it broke off by the base of the head to where you cant grab it then you have to use a tap thing to get it out basically to drill a hole in the center of the bolt then you screw in a reversr threaded screw into the hole and that unscrew the bolt. call your machine shop or go buy your own set of bolt retractors. not sure of the exact name. good luck and with those 10mm bolts that are on the head or engine compartment, just tighten till it stops(w/lube) then just give it a 1/4 of a turn
