Hi Border,
If all else fails, I appreciate access is difficult but I'd try sawing the bolt head off (I assume it's only one bolt head that's rounded). Suggest using a single bladed holder or turn the blade 90 degrees. Once the pump is off you'll have more access and a longer bolt shaft to work on. It's unusual to have a pump bolt seized in its hole as it's pretty oily there. But if frozen, use plenty of WD40 or Plus Gas and leave overnight then, either saw a screwdriver slot in the bolt end or try a stud remover. Good luck.
Regards, Seaboy

I'm getting confused here, does the lift pump not bolt directly to the side of the block, to be honest I've never had a really good look at it

Might do the job, temporarily until I can get a plate.

Covered the bolt in this, put it so far in to the striped hole, left a few mil sticking out, left to dry for a couple of days then nipped the bolt flush, It seems to have done the job as it does not leak anymore, dry as a bone so far but will keep an eye on it until I get a replacement plate.
