Located RH side a little below valve cover, near alternator. Wondering if this is the dreaded timing cover leak? See photos

Yes, it looks like it. I would not call it the dreaded. It is a small leak many of us drive for years with.
Just clean and monitor. Unless it gets large not worth bother fixing it.

Sounds good. Decided to take a closer look on the left side and it's leaking there too. I'll clean her up and see what happens in the next few months
 
That stuff is like the tire sealer fluid: it fixes the flat so you can drive home but it ruins the tire as you can no longer patch it.
I would not use the tire sealant on a $250 tire so why would I use that stuff on a $10000 engine.
