Similarly, you may ask, do you need to replace timing cover gasket?
You could very well find that it's the timing cover itself that has gone bad and needs to be replaced. Some timing covers can crack and start to leak oil when they do. You'll want to have it replaced as soon as possible to prevent any more oil from working its way out of your car.
