Default Coolant leak on front timing cover

I put Uv dye in my radiator to find a coolant leak and it was coming out my front timing cover and was showing up in my oil what should I do ?? It also was coming out my heater core but I replaced it already it’s a 2001 3.9 v6 Dodge Ram 1500 that recently had the engine rebuilt Last year and the timing chain replaced 2 months ago

Reseal the timing cover. Replace the timing set and water pump while you are there. Inspect the cover when you have it off, old coolant can erode the cover, making it difficult to get it to seal.
