Question 302 SBF coolant leak, any opinions?

I'm looking for a second opinion. I filled my car with coolant for the first time yesterday. As I was checking for leaks I noticed a small pool of water building on top of the timing chain cover.

The water seems to be seeping from between the block & the timing chain cover.

All my instincts point to the timing chain cover/engine block gasket. Has anyone any experience of this?

If it is a simple gasket failure, how much work is involved in removing/refitting the cover? Does the sump have to come off??

Thanks on advance for any opinions!
