Not a valve cover, it holds in the cams.

the anaerobic sealant VW uses for the cam cover is a very dark red and can look like oil. Especially once it attracts dirt.

I would go to the dealer and see if it is enough for them to repair or if they consider that seepage.

Volkswagen calls it a "cylinder head cover" in the factory service manual, but the gasket is called a "valve cover gasket".
