stripped bolt, oil leak?

Changed the timing belt last weekend (86 5000), now I have a slight (drips,
not gushes) oil leak which I *suspect* is from the 6 mm bolt holding the
right side of the lower timing belt cover. The threads seem stripped - the
bolt won't tighten fully . . . how much of a PITA is this going to be?


Open to suggestions . . .


Am I looking in the right place? The water pump doesn't leak (any more),
but now, as usual, there are "other issues".


Best Regards,

Mike Arman
