Does anyone recognise this part of the engine and if so does the bolt just need tightening or am I looking at worse issues.
Help much appreciated!

The oil pump on an M96 is next to the water pump on the front of the engine, and shares the same metal gasket with the water pump. That looks more like the main intermediate shaft tensioner, which fits inside the crankcase near the flywheel.
