So I was leaking oil out of the intake cam where the rubber seal is on the outside of the head. It needed silicone. When I put on the cam seal 16(each seal is labeled with a number...) the inner bolt broke off from me over tightening it.

1. What is the best possible fix? Would I drill out the remainder of the bolt and re tap it?

2. How bad is it that I drive to work with the bolt like that? I will probably to go a mechanic in he morning.

3. My cat is also missing. Does anyone know where he is? This has been a truly horrific day.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

 

It's gonna leak like crazy, also silicone doesn't fix seals that need to be replaced.

 

I think you misunderstood what I was trying to convey, but I alredy fixed it. The mechanic told me the best thing to do would be to re tap it. It's already fixed but thank you. For you're future reference a bolt that is broken that holds down the cams wouldn't have any where to leak out.

 

So did you ever find your cat though...?!?

 

No man, he's gone. He was such a cool guy too. He would always help me when I was working on my vehicles. He would sit up on the hood while I was wrenching on the engines or hang out inside the car if I was cleaning it. Hard to replace his personality with a better one.
