I would try this first...Make sure the rubber seal is still on the bolt...check it to make sure its not ripped or worn. You may want to replace it anyway just to be sure. Any good auto/hardware should have an assortment of seals. Bring the bolt and get the correct size...

I would replace the seal any way. With heat and time the seal takes the shape that it is in when crushed by tightening the bolt but it still looks normal. I would also put teflon tape on the threads as suggested above.
