Leak? Please advise
Not sure if I have a leak or what it is. I do smell something in the cabin if it's driven hard. Don't want to say much, but I am still N/A altho modified.
If there is an issue, please let me know if it's something easy I can fix (doubt it), or if I have to go back to stock and bring it in to the dealer? Pics 1A and 1B are the same, 1A to give reference of where it is, 1B is zoomed in. Not sure if the area in pic 2 is related or a separate issue if they are leaks?

Looks like valve cover and timing chain cover are leaking. Take it to the dealer, none of your modifications would make those gaskets leak, short of blowing up the motor.

I haven't touched any of those things, is it normal for them to be leaking around 30K miles?

Not "normal" but not unheard of either. Sometimes engines leak. They will fix it up for you.

What is the actual fluid(s?) that are leaking?
How immediately does this need to be fixed? I think ive been running like this for some time now... I've also recently, inconsistently, been hearing a numerous clicking noise in 1st and 2nd in the low rpm range while under decent load. Could that be the timing chain if that's leaking?

Yes when the engine gets hot you could smell it. Also notice in the pics that there is some sort of debris in there (pine needles?) that could be falling on the header or exhaust and giving you an odour.

Mine was the same until this weekend. Damned leaves. Make sure you check the tail light drains under the trunk lid as well. Mine were plugged solid with small leaves.
