If you're very lucky, retorquing the head nuts will work.  If you can test for leaks afterward without having to reassemble things, that's the approach to take.  If not, then I'd consider pulling the head and finding out why the leak exists (warped block or head, excess liner nip, or whatever), then eliminating the problem.

Just for information, in the unlikely circumstance that you didn't know, head gaskets can not be re-used.
