Whats leaking? If its just weaping out a little oil, I wouldn't mess with breaking the bolts and retightening, although others would disagree.
I had the same problem and I just made sure all the headbolts were tight, following the sequence in Haynes for tightening. There were about three that were loose by about 10-20 ft-lbs.
Now, If the headgasket was leaking coolant into the cylinders, I sure would break all the bolts and go through the whole 3 step tightening sequence before I went through the trouble of taking the head off.
