Default VTS oil seeping down front of block

Just brought myself a VTS
Got a receipt saying the head was skimmed replaced with cat cams less than 3k ago,
oil is seeping from inbetween the head and block which suspects head gasket,
Is it possible to slacken off the head bolts and retorque?

Retorque of the bolts won`t really do much mate.Are you sure it`s coming from here & not the cam covers?

cam covers and cam ladders need checking first. as steve says, a retorque is unlikely to achieve a great deal
