Stripped hole on I believe head possibly ?

1 Attachment(s)

So just finished replacing the pump and had a little bit of oil leaking above the water pump and I saw the bolt was lose so I attempted to tighten it and the threads tore off what are my options re tap ? If so what size ? Would heli coil be better ? It's the bolt on the blue belt tensioner bracket (bottom bolt ) any help would greatly be appreciated .

I would imagine that is where my oil would be seeping from correct it looks like it's coming right below it . How durable would the heli coil be ?
