Recently changed water pump on doing so i snapped one of the bolts so now the new pumps on with one bolt missing off the bottom is this harmful or will it be no problems, URGENT REPLY PLEASE

I'd suspect it'd leak pretty quickly with one bolt missing, if not when it's cold then it surely will once the system is hot.

They do have quite a few bolts, so you might get away with it, but these bolts arn't exactly small?

Hope you cleaned the thread before as m10 blocks seam to crack quite easily under hydralic pressure if there is water/oil left in the hole.
