Mine had loose bolts too

I had the head gasket replaced on my '98 CSE about a year ago because of a slight oil seepage (more of a dampness than a leak). The gasket was not blown, just that leak, so I did a pre-emptive repair.
Anyway the tech told me the same thing - that the front left (from driver's seat) head bolt was no more that finger tight. And, that was where the oil dampness was.
Mileage at the time of my repair was about the same as yours. My car now has about 110 k miles. Haven't had any further problems with head since the repair.
