If it's a rubber seal, a HiMi lube might help restore it's elasticity and size.. or not. Just depends on how badly it's worn/damaged, sometimes seals are just too far gone for a mechanic in a bottle. Run a HiMi for an oci and if it hasn't stopped leaking, you're gonna need to replace it.
Fwiw, +60k on a seal or gasket seems like a short lifespan. Is this normal for this engine? You might research it before buying an OE seal.. maybe there's higher quality seal/gasket
#1 it's a very slow seep, like maybe a drop or two per OCI. #2, If it's timing cover seal, it's rather expensive and labor intensive. not like a valve cover gasket which is easy DIY and $10. #3 I agree on 70K and having leaking seals already is BS.
