Default transmission leak at exhaust bracket

I noticed a small oil leak at the exhaust bracket, the 2 Allen bolts came loose and I got some oil leaking out of there. just concerned whether I will need to replace the gasket or just retighten them. I am thinking blue Loctite and maybe some Teflon paste, any suggestion's?

A common problem with dressers, just tighten the bolts up ( 4 ) have done this for my customers for years with good results. If you don't trust them, pull each bolt out and use thread locker on them and torque them to spec's.

thanks popeyejoe, I thought there was more to it than that. some times with the bike I tend to think its more complicated than a simple fix! tightened them up and all is fine, thanks again!
