Timing Case Cover

Anyone have this problem - I took my MCS 06 in for service because it was leaking oil around the crank pulley and underneath that area. When the tech took it apart he said that a screw was missing from hole where the arrow is pointing in the picture, he thinks that is the cause of the leak. Can't figure out how that happened, I never have touched the area. Link to realoem.com

You can't be saying, British built means oil leak? Or if you have a British race car you need a long test session to see what falls off?
