Default oil seeping on the side of the timing chain cover

hi everyone i know these engines seep a little oil around the front of the timing chain cover but mine doesent it seeps on the side? if you look at the oil filter right across from that where the cover meets the block i have seepage its not the filter, its not the seal on the tct, its not the valve cover gasket its just in one place on the timing chain cover between the cover and the block i wiped it down but it just came back very little within a thousand miles or so. anyone else have this? should i worry about it its not losing really any oil at all just a little oily build up. any advice would be helpfull

(its the area on the cover by the oil filter that has the oval shaped indentation)
