Oil leak on the head

Got a small oil leak coming from the rear high pressure oil galley plug on the drivers side head. The oil only drips a little bit, but I want to fix it because its pissin me off. Is there a seal behind the plug that I can replace or should I try tightening it up or something? I've never had to touch those plugs, so I don't know what to expect or what to do.

O-ring on the plug itself. If it's leaking replace it. 20 sec. job.
