There is no timing cover on a rotary. What you are referring to is the "front cover" which houses the e-shaft bearings, spacers, oil pump, etc.
Make sure that it is not the metering oil pump which is leaking. They can leak fairly often as the o-rings dry out, but front cover gasket leaks aren't as common.
