Help - Carrera Chain Tensioner Problem

Hi gang,

I have oil weeping from my right chain housing cover at the chain tensioner oil line hollow bolt nozzle - see picture (hope it worked - my first attempt attaching a pic). I have replaced the oil seal washers and the leak persists.

My questions:
1. Should I drive the car - is there danger of the tensioner not functioning properly?
2. What is the best fix? Just replace the cover or seal the crack?
3. What is the correct torque for the hollow bolt?

TIA,
Mike M
