Sorry, the one I blocked was a bung with threads visible. Doesn't sound like the same type. I haven't seen your type. If its a plate you should be able to remove it and replace or make a gasket.
It would be prudent to take it to an exhaust shop and get them to at least loosen, if not fix, the bolts. That way if a bolt breaks they can fix it.
