My suspicion is that "they" do more damage to the block and timing chain cover by removing it, than they do good by trying to reseal it.
It appears that the two parts are made of aluminum and glued together pretty darn tight. So, either of the pieces could easily be damaged by "prying" them apart.
Maybe the manufacturer has a "special tool" they use ....... but I doubt it. They probably use a small crowbar and/or a fat screwdriver, which could easily leave a section of the aluminum stressed or grooved.
Since this leak is relatively small and not likely to get larger and not dripping on anything significant ....... I would be tempted to just leave it be......
Obviously, I do not have an OCD problem.
Back-in-the-day many of us drove cars with various oil leaks ....... and as long as it wasn't leaking on the clutch disk or the brake shoes or leaking more than a quart a month ....... we just drove on .......
