small t5 leak from bolt on driver side of trans. - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

Hi,

I was replacing the speed sensor on the t5 in my formula when I noticed a very small leak from the bolt near the top of the transmission case on the driver side. It looks like a torx bolt. I don't know what it holds. Should I try to tighten it and see if that does anything, or do I have to remove it and replace a seal inside? The leak is very slight, just enough to make the edges of the bolt wet with trans fluid, but not enough to cause drip down the transmission case. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Though I'm anal in such matters, I suggest this is one to leave alone.
