small leak on header joint

I am a home owner with a 5 year old Burnam steam boiler. I just noticed a small leak  at a joint on the header. (The connection is on that uses a really big wrench) Is there any thing I can put on the joint to stop the leak or do I just need to call the pro?

Thank you

    Unless you have a really big wrench and the knowhow to use it, it's time to call a pro.
