You can probably just wait and see if it leaks of course, but if
you are worried about it, you can remove each bolt, (one by one)
squirt some RTV on the hole and re-install the bolt, making sure that
some of the RTV gets on the threads and that the shoulder of the bolt
is in RTV as well. The next time you pull the diff cover, you'd just
need to clean the RTV off the bolts and run a tap down the holes.
