[Vwdiesel] Dumb move on my part

So I did something in a rush and lack of tools near by. I have my rabbit truck at a storage unit a couple miles away. It has sat all summer with the move several states away and it is leaking fuel from the IP pump shaft and oil on the timing belt side of the engine as well. I knew I shouldn't have done it but I was going to take the crank bolt off as I am going to replace all the seals on that side of the engine. I put the cam plate lock in and saw if I could move the bolt at all. Well-no but I did break a small chunk from cam where the cam lock goes in the cam. So now my fear is did I damage the cam to where I should put a different one in there and if so does anyone have a used cam lying around or know of a good cam supplier for the 1.6 na engine. Don't need a fancy one. I plan on resealing the timing belt side of the engine. I am thinking a head gasket and ARP bolts and an IP rebuild with new nozzles and the thing should be good to go for a while. I hate leaving it site and it actually broke my heart to see how much underbody rust happened just from it being on the cement this summer. I will be putting a tarp under it next summer to prevent the sweating from the cement. But back to the cam question. Any help?
