leaks stop leaking by themselves?

I had 2 new sinks installed for a bath remodel. Both had small leaks from the beginning - 1 at the drain connection before the p-trap, the other at the drain connection after the p-trap but before going into the wall. It's been a few weeks since the install and now the leaks don't occur anymore no matter how much water I run. The contractor has to come back to finish up some other work. Should I have him take a look at where the leaks were and attempt to reinforce the seals where the leaks were or should I consider them to be "fixed" and not mention it to the contractor?

Mention it. At the very least you're letting them know that there might be an issue.

They probably just need some tightening.
