Coolant Leaking from Steering Pump Stud [M1008]

My M1008 has developed a leak from what I believe to be the base of the stud that sits between the steering pump pully and fan pulley (#6 in image). The bracket (#9) at the bottom of the pump was also not attached and the bolt missing, so I assume that all of the belt tension was riding on the stud and it cracked the engine where its attached. This is only a guess because I can't find anywhere else the leak is coming from and I haven't disassembled anything yet and it's a difficult area to get a look at.

But if the base of the stud is cracked, how screwed am I?

Common issue. When I picked up my M1031, ALL the power steering pump bolts had worked loose and the pump itself was being held in by the belts alone. In terms of breaking bolts off, if it breaks off the block, not much you can really do other than weld it back on.
