Haha, no, I actually didn't bother letting the dealership try to fix it. Other people were posting and reporting that sometimes the dealer fixed plate just started leaking again. So, I was much more eager to try a third party fix and was excited to help test a prototype part that could help a lot of owners.
Anyway, looking at the photo you posted, I believe this would fit the description of oil leak from front timing cover, or from the dipstick tube hole.
And it looks to have been going on for a while based on the pooling/residue on top of the header.
Either way, the Toyota dealer should be able to diagnose and quote you for a repair.
