Question Found an oil leak! need some help.

Well im about to sell this dam truck... well maybe not. But i found an oil leak just before the oilfilter, comeing out of the little hex head screw. My question is, how do i fix that? is there a seal that needs replaced? or do i have to just tighten it down an cross my fingers. its not a bad leak, maybe a drop every 10 minutes, or so. but i dont want oil spots all over my garage.

yeah ill get a pic later today. but if your feeling froggy, if u climb under ur truck, where the fliter screws on, it is about 1 inch to the left of the filter, and about 1 to 2 inches forward, (towards the front bumper). its a hex head screw, i threw an allen key into it. tried to tighten it, but its already torqued to hell. so i am just wondering if there is a seal up in there i need to replace, or if its something bigger and i f'd in the back side.
