jadmt,
There are weep holes on either side and a little channel surrounding each water passage through the timing cover,..on the block side.
PITA to get to, but simple to fix.
If it's on top of the timing case you are probably seeing coolant from the heater hose tucked in at the top of the pump, if it's oil it is likely coming from the base of the distributor.
