I don't have a warranty, and bought from a private seller, clean carfax and the car has otherwise been well maintained. I haven't found much in the way of a DIY resealing the timing chain cover, am I missing a huge thread on this?

Hello jpeaslee and welcome to BRZ ownership and ......The Forum ......
Your pictures don't show up for me.
I would suggest that you clean up the area that is seeping oil and observe where it starts to reappear.
As far as a DIY removal and reseal of the timing chain cover, I figure that would be a really BIG DIY job you may wish not to take on.
I hope you get it sorted out.
