Could it be the timing cover itself rusty/porous?? Ford manual doesn't list any sealant for that area.

The round cover has a seal strip on it's rear face and this ages, becoming hard and ineffective.

You either buy a new cover or remove it ( it is a bayonet fitting, sixth of a turn to remove ) and degrease then apply sealer like loctite 5699.
