Your tensioner top bolt may be the next casulaty. Loss of oil in the tensioner provides less damping. The top bolt sees larger forces which will fatigue and fail sooner is my guess.
You can replace both the bolt and tensioner when the first one goes. Just hope it is not hundreds of miles from home. If this is your daily commuting car, I'd keep driving if I were you. But that's me.
