To fix or not a timing cover oil leak

Hi, I own a 2020 Toyota Sienna with 44500 miles but I found that it leaks a bit of oil from the front timing cover on the engine. It normally takes a few weeks for a small drop of oil to appear after cleaning the area. The Sienna is still under the powertrain warranty and I have taken the sienna to be checked to two different dealerships and in both cases I was told there was nothing wrong with it. I saw that someone had cleaned the spot when I checked afterwards. I can probably do something more to make them fix it but I am concerned if fixing it would be a good idea due to all the stuff they have to remove and put back well enough (Maybe I get a bigger problem than the original) What do you recommend to fix or not to fix it ? Thanks. Jose Cardiel

Sorry I just found out how to upload a pic now. It only shows a drop of oil but how bad can it get with more miles ? And if it were you, would you fix under warranty ? https://postimg.cc/LYFrxtwt/0f2f1bb8

which bit of oil are you referring to? Can you circle it in the photo.

if it is covered by the warranty, I would most definitely fix it.

if it is not covered by the warranty, it seems like something to watch and pay Attention to.
