Oil leak solved by re-torquing ?

I have a oil leak, 2 months ago I re-installed my heads/intake. I did not retorque the bolts and now I have a leak that spits out lots of oil. Anyone solve this type of oil leak by re-torquing the bolts ?
Should I try it ?

Where is the leak at? Intake,,heads? Intake leaks are very common and you should go back and retorque (in sequence) after a few heat cycles.
