Question: Timing Chain cover leaking oil

I have a 1994 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder vehicle. My timing belt has been replaced and my guess is when they were replacing it and putting back on the timing chain cover, they stripped the thread were you put the bolt in cause the thread is stripped and the end of the timing chain cover is broken off. Oil is leaking out of the bottom of the timing chain cover. How can I fix this my self. Is their a way to fix it fast and easy ? Please help!
