Oil bleeder screw snapped leaking oil

The cheapest thing I can think of is an ''easy out'' (SCREW EXTRACTOR). You will need one that does an M6 bolt like this... http://www.ebay.com/itm/M5-M6-or-3-16-1-4-Extractor-Drill-Set-Easy-Out-Broken-Bolt-Screw-Stud-Removal-/121076452993?pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&hash=item1c30b80e81&vxp=mtr , better brands can be found though.

They can be tough to get to work, especially if you've not done it before.
Once snapped the cam cap bolt on a bike and took it to an engineer to get the stub out. He laughed and clicked it out with an automatic centre-punch. Once the head has snapped off there's not as much torque holding the shaft in place and it can be relatively easy to turn out.

Worth a try.

If it's snapped way down in the hole and you can't get to the stump you could try getting it as clean as possible and Aralditing something to it and gently turning that.
