majority will respond positively to simply tightening the bolt. either the gasket perished via ordinary wear and tear, or, for some reason, the bolt simply loosened. this is assuming the gasket has not perished that badly, yet.
in a few cases, engine block or cylinder head warp due to overheat or physical damage, can do the same type of leaking.
overheat can also cause the gasket to fail early in its life.
you can try teflon or other gasket maker. but these products need to have the mating surfaces cleaned very very well, if they are to stick well.
but as you will need to remove the cover and gasket to do this, might as well replace the gasket! nandun ka na, e. yung gasket na lang ang kulang. it is not hideously expensive, and it will offer a more permanent, factory-spec cure.
if you feel you lack the skill to do it, ask the tambay na mekanikos sa harap ng auto supply shops to do it. laging meron dun. i used to do it myself, back when the waistline wasn't posing a problem between me and the engine... heh heh.
