Good evening all, finally discovered where my oil leak was coming from today. Rear right of cylinder head leaking oil. Replaced head gasket a few years ago. Would trying to tighten head bolt stop the leak? Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

You could damage (warp) the head if you over-torque the bolts.
It sounds like the head gasket needs to be replaced.
Once the head is off, you should check it for cracks.

First make sure the valve cover gasket and the distributor shaft seals are not leaking oil, then proceed further.

I replaced the value cover gasket 2 days ago. The distributor seal is good, no leaks. I can see the oil leaking from under the cylinder head below the far left spark plug.
