Hole for the bolt on the lower header pictured here is broken. Am I going to have an exhaust leak if I use these now?

Probably.

Add a wider washer behind that header bolt, tighten the headers from the center, outwards in stages and use good gaskets, with a little high temp silicone around each port and you won't have any issues.

Where is the broke part? All I'm seeing is the slot cut there by the mfg of the header so you can install a bolt and slide the header onto it to start.

Youre right. I thought it couldn't be that because the other one didn't have a slot cut into it, but that's just how they are. Thanks for your help.

^this. look at your header gasket. See the outer holes that are slotted. That is to hang the gaskets on the outer bolts. If you are that concerned, take some JB weld and fill the void and let it set up.
