2008 1.8 Serp belt tensioner broke bolt [solved]


My tensioner bolt broke off, is that part its in, the block or timing cover? I didn't notice the water pump bolt until I uploaded the pic. Surprise.So any advice before I break out the drill and try to get the bolt out? The belt routing was the revised route I dunno what happened.

Drill and an easy out, or weld a nut to it if you can

The water pump bolt was just started and never tightened. Surprised it didn't fall out, on the previous mechanics defense though, that bolt is completely hidden when looking from top I missed it till now.
