Almost certainly, hold the engine at 3000rpms for 20-30secs and see how badly it leaks. Are you 100% sure its coming from that bolt, there is the turbo feed pipe above it with a paper gasket, and also a gasket between the filter/thermostat housing and block.91CQ20v - Gone to a new home

Tried the above today, and I'm 100% sure it was from the bolt. I also had a seepage coming from the other side of the block, that turned out to be coming from the sump gasket.
#1: Re-oiled the new O-ring, cleaned surfaces and re-installed the bolt with a thin copper washer. No more leak.
#2: Tightened the sump screws. Easy as that. Guess those things happen when you start using a rebuilt engine.
Now if I can find out where it's dribbling water from
