Oil Pump Bleed Screw Broke Off

[Edwinh12]

Well I went to bleed my oil lines on my 98 gtx limited and as I was tightening the screw back, it broke in half and half of it is inside the oil pump but it’s still leaking oil so I’m gonna extract it today and try to find me a replacement. Before I do so, is this some special screw or can I replace it with something I find at a hardware store? Did it have a small washer on it as well?

Yep, came with washer, soft aluminum, ("crushable" by design?)
A few pics with metric/SAE measurements.
McMaster Carr has these but as you well may know, just cant buy one.
I.D. important, O.D?. Not so much so long as you keep it in the ball park.

Almost forgot, a s/s metric machine pan head (phillip's) will suffice but I'm sure there are other types would work. It's just phillip's give me a better feedback on torque applied.

Think this would work? Thank you by the way! https://www.lowes.com/pd/Hillman-4mm-0-7-x-6mm-Phillips-Drive-Machine-Screws-12-Count/999994830

It should though the pan heads I have have a tad bit overhang, un-necessary overkill probably.
Your good.
