its either the front crank seal-easy and quick or the timing cover itself-easy but takes a bit longer. clean it with brake cleaner to see which it is

The cover is a bayonet fitting.
Turn it anti clockwise to remove.
Degrease everything properly.
Apply sealer to the groove around the edge of the cover and refit.
Or buy a new cover.

mk6 X reg 2.4 T350 LWB MHR RWD - scrapped
mk4 J reg 2.5 L300 LWB MHR RWD - sold on

Notice a trend there ? not too big and not too small
