Default oil leak

went out to the car today and started to leave... as i was backing out i see a puddle about the size of a large dinner plate of oil that was underneath my car... i just got the oil changed yesterday so i head over to the place that changed it and went underneath the car with one of the guys there and it turns out my oil pan gasket is leaking by the tranny... turns out the bolts were pretty loose so i tightened them up(not too much)... do you think that this could solve the problem? i didnt see any damage to the gasket so i figured that this was the problem... also it looked like there were two gaskets between the block and oil pan... is this normal? thanks

The bolts and nuts for the oilpan should be torqued to 9 ft-lb. If they were loose I would imagine it would leak. There should only be one gasket between the pan and the block.
