Check your crank/timing cover

I've got to inspect it closer but I only saw seepage. I noticed the other day sitting at a light and I smelled engine oil burning, thinking it was a car close to me I disregarded. Yesterday I was at a light and I looked down and saw the oil discoloration on the casing around the cover. I got home and tightened the screws that hold the cover on and they took a turn so I figure that should do it. My first official leak and it started after..... Has anyone else had issues with this cover?
