Missing a nut/bolt on powersteering pump, what size?

My car was leaking something so I went under my FD and found that the powersteering pump is missing a bolt/nut hoping this is the problem. What size are the bolts/nuts on the power steering pump so I can get one and chuck it on? Thank you.

It is the same as the wheel studs. I'm not sure why I know that but it just happened.

This is what i'm talking about - is it meant to be like this?

Sorry about the blurryness... Is it meant to be like this, or is there meant to be a bolt there?

Thats the thing, i'm not sure. I just got under my car and noticed this and assumed that a bolt was meant to be there... Something was leaking from under my car and thought this would be it... but I think it was just a hose from the powersteering pump, so I can't it and now nothing, but still like to confirm if its fine or not.

My last post didn't make sense :P I meant I replaced the hose and nothing is leaking.
