I do not recall reading about any timing chain tensioner leaks in this ng,
but that does not mean that there have or have not been any issues.

Do you have an engine oil leak from the front of the engine? Is the timing
chain making noise?

Unless it's been replaced, I haven't seen one that doesn't leak. I remember
that when your generation started to get a few miles on them, we were
replacing headgaskets like no other because the oil from the tchain
tensioner weeps across the bottom of the head. Once the big guys figured
out the tensioner was to blame, they quickly put the kibosh on paying out
warranty headgaskets.
So yeah, they all leak.

Yeah, I haven't seen any leaks in the new iteration of the corolla.

Thanks.

I'd hate to think my son's 2006 Corolla was a ticking oil leak time
bomb....
