No, those are actuator seals. Your cam cover has a think line of a special RTV sealant that runs around its perimeter which sometimes fail and start to leak. But before you even think about removing the cam cover, you need to clean the area and inspect it carefully to locate the source. Removing the cam cover is not a trivial matter, the cover forms one half of the cam bearings for both cams, so you would need to either find or fabricate cam holding tools to retain the cams while removing and resealing the cover. Not properly retaining the cams could easily lead to literally breaking both cams as they are under tremendous spring pressure loads at all times, so this has to be done correctly.
