I lost the oil drain bolt while vehicle was in motion and then engine ceased running. Engine will not start just clicks.

This is one of those questions that we all hate to try to answer. It is sort of like a call from a hospital.

With no lubricant inside the engine and continuing to drive it, most likely it has overheated/fatigued/and finally abrasion between the moving contacting metal parts has seized your engine.

No miracle cures and no magic additives will help it at this point.

You might search an automotive salvage yard for a used one or maybe find a rebuilt one in a crate from an auto parts store.

It would probably be a slim chance that yours could be re-machined and rebuilt.

It is over.

Sorry.

Drive on.
