hey guys,

Newbie RCZ owner of 2 months. 3 days ago i changed the timing chain and from yesterday i noticed major oil leak. Right now its dripping.

However dash says oil level is correct and the dip stick seems to have sufficient oil too. Is this normal after a timing chain replacement?

No have they tightened up the tensioners etc.. Have you looked at the top of the engine as common oil leak is from the rocker cover gasket and oil dripping down from here
