Had to fit a new sump today and accidentally sheared the head off 1 of 17 bolts securing it.. and cross threaded another!

Used some of that fancy RTV gasket maker so was hoping it would be ok having 15 of 17 in place (the two missing are not next to each other), I assume there must be a little redundancy built into the design?

That's what I'm hoping anyway!
