what you undone was the camchain adjuster if it was leaking from there you need a new copper or nylon washer on that bolt

Like rod said get a nylon or copper washer, if i had a rubber washer on that tensioner bolt id be expecting it to fall off during riding and then your going to get excess cam chain slap and being undertensioned the chance of the cam sprocket jumping the chain links is high resulting in a bent valve and maybe even more damage, but like rod said keep a damn good eye on it if it is rubber and that is all you can find, If you have some plumbers tape(thread tape, the white stuff) you could put some around the bolt and reuse the old washer you had.
