HELP (we can close this tread...), Water pump bolt broke off... Options

[Betta-J]

Ok, so I've been having problems with my car where the temp went high.
I knew my Koyo Rad was fine and realized that I'd been losing alot of Coolant.

I saw some dripping underneath..maybe 1 drop in 20 secs. I figured there was a leak.

I opened up up the covers leading to the water pump just like I did when I had changed my timing belt.

One bolt was sticking out and I knew that was the problem. I started to ratchet that bolt back in, but then it snapped...I don't know how much of it snapped off, but I have to put a bolt in there to stop the leak.

Any suggesting would be appreciated! I need this done ASAP.

It is a very tight space and I really can't see how far the bolt is in there.....I just know that the whole bolt screwed in almost till the end..then it snapped...and I'm missing the tip of this bolt..
It must be far inside and I can't see it...

HELP HELP HELP!!

Wow, and there is next to no room to work in that area. My guess, remove the alt, and clear out some space if you can. Use an air drill (because of its small size), try to get it as dead on as possible, then use an extractor. Maybe have an extra pair of hands to hold a mirror and light would help too.
Pull the engine out and do it the right way, or um....jb weld!
