I would tread slowly and make sure you do things right. I would remove the bedplate and oil pump altogether, clean all surfaces and apply fresh anaerobic. Anaerobic sealant only cures in the absence of air: there's probably no sealant in that big gap where the bolt was missing.

I'm probably a little late with that bit of advice, but better late than never.
