Return bulkhead leaking at bottom of overflow

Last night I noticed a drip in the basement coming from my tank. I looked underneath the display and noticed it was leaking from the return line bulkhead underneath the overflow. I tightened it a little and it stopped leaking. The leak started after I was adjusting the return nozzles inside the tank (I must have been a little too rough). I don't see and cracks or imperfections in the glass. Other than keeping an eye on it should I do anything else?
Thanks guys!
 
If it doesn't start leaking again, you should be fine. If it does start leaking again, you may have a gasket twisted or out of place.
 
Just watch it adn be gentle with it. . Sometimes a leaky bulk head is fine after a slight tightening; sometimes when jostled or overtightend the plastic cracks easily .
