Is that a hairline crack in the allen bolt recess? (red circle). Chemical metal filler might be a way forward if it is.
Thats exactly the one I ordered. I assumed an OEM bolt would be expensive. Turns out its £2 from my local Yam dealer. Compared to £6 for a stupid magnetic half length one. The washer costs more than the bolt bizarrely.

You can pick up those copper crush washers fairly cheaply or you can reuse, I've not replaced mine the last 3 oil changes.
Not sure, I think its just a smear of cleanliness amongst the dirt though Ill have a closer proper look.
Where in the world are you? have an old engine sat outside in bits, I'm pretty sure the sump plate is sat there if you want it. In NW London
