Default Leaking kitchen sink - can I fix this myself?

When I got home tonight, I discovered my kitchen sink is leaking (happy New Year!). After a bit of poking around, I believe I determined the source of the problem: It is a bolt that, upon discovery, was not tightened as much as it could have been. I tightened it as much as I could with my hands, but it is still leaking a small amount.

Before I call a plumber and drop a few hundred bucks and look like an idiot becasue this is the easiest thing in the world to fix, does anyone know if this is just a quick little thing that someone who doesn't know a thing about these things can fix?

My guess is that the bolt was shaken loose when the garburator was on earlier in the day. But who knows. Here are some pics:





Your insight would be greatly appreciated.
