Check the bolts to make sure they are still tight.

May just need to take it off, clean off old gasket material, and put a new gasket on.

Not to sound like a jerk, but if it is leaking then either something is loose or a seal is bad.

yes, just buy that gasket to replace the old one when you take it off.
