I'm guessing that it is the center bottom bolt that is missing. It runs right into an oil passage, and will leak from time to time. Just pick up a new stud and washer/nut. Clean the threads using a tap&die set. Then install the stud using some red RTV or locktite of some sort on the threads.

It should fix your problem.
