1995 ford countour 4 cyclinder auto.

I have oil spraying from the back on my engine "head". Can I just tighten the bolts and hope the the gasket is still okay?
my oil level has not dropped significantly for the 3 weeks i've had the but it is enough oil that I cannsee it when I move my car.

Thanks much,
additionally, can this happen if there is too much oil in the engine, and if so do I simply drain the excess. I have been checkin gthe dip-stick and it seem the the oil might be a little above the max mark. It's hard to tell sometimesi rub it on the side when I take sit out.
