Headgasket oil leak

Noticed I was down on oil after 5k miles. Right where "most" 9k's leak oil from the front corner of cyl 4 and it was very wet with oil. It must only happen when the car is running and has high oil pressure. I've noticed no oil on the ground where I usually park. No side effects besides loss of oil and a dirty engine. Do I go all out on a head gasket or can I retorque the head bolts. If so, what's the procedure?
