how would ya fix this (oil leaking)
The car i believe is a 94 corolla...
anyways, the car was leaking a little bit of oil, so i jack it up, notice some of the bolt heads holding on the oil pan had some oil drops, so i figured id change out the gasket.
while putting on the oil pan, i snapped one of the bolts, so now instead of just a small oil leak, its a fairly large oil leak lol.
what is some simple fixes for this? besides jacking up the car and drilling out the broken bolt and replacing it, is there a simpler fix somehow, or not really?

If you take the pan back off is there enough bolt left to get some vice grips on it? Or is it flush with the block? If it's flush with the block I'm pretty sure nothing to do but drill it.
