However, this is also the area where the the timing-belt
cover curls around the backside a bit.  Would my guess of bad head
gasket be correct in this? 

I thought i had the same problem when i noticed the oil in the exact area you 
are talking about.  It turned out to be a leaky oil cap. Check that out.  For 
what ever reason it is easier to see oil on the cast iron block than on the 
head thats why at first I thought it was the headgasket.  Good luck
