Oil Leak - Husqvarna Lawn Tractor

I have a 2009 Husqvarna YTH24V54 lawn tractor that is leaking oil where the upper half of the engine meets the lower half of the engine. It's a B&S 4456-77 1198 B1. It leaks oil when the engine is running. I tightened the bolts that connect the engine, but it still leaks. I didn't want to over tighten the bolts though. I have several questions. Does you recommend a Stop Leak for oil? Should I get a torque wrench and make sure that the bolts are tightened as tight as they should be (I've tightened them as tight as I can with a small socket)? Should I try JB weld before tearing the engine apart? How difficult of a job is it to change this gasket? Thanks for your help.
