Default Broken oil pan bolt...will it leak?

Guys I feel like a retard. After installing my oil return fitting I was bolting the pan back up and snapped a bolt.

I was using a torque wrench to the mfg's specs and everything was going fine. These were the last four bolts and one of them decided to snap. It just kept going I'm not sure if my wrench messed up and just didnt stop or what. Anyways the main question is do you guys think this will leak? It has a bolt on each side very close to it...its the end of the oil pan not the side.

Way to ruin a good productive day, anyways opinions would help. I could get an easy out but I really dont want to deal with it, if it won't be a problem anyways.

Damn, I don't think I have ever even thought of mounting it so it's NOT under a hole. I guess I have been lucky.

I think my D15 is missing 2 or 3 bolts and it never leaked. Even after a front end collision at 60 and a huge fight with a curb that bitch didn't leak. Probably the best part of my D15.

Thanks guys,

This is on a sunfire with a 2.4 but I'm sure its probably no different. I'm just worrying about it. I'll put everything back together...if it leaks then I'll fix it.

I still feel like a retard though
