Any insight would be appreciated!

About that. If you have never done it, that is an excellent time to replace the rectangular timing cover seal that is just above and behind the tensioner. It will take an extra 10 minutes/$5 including cleaning the area around the seal before removing it, if needed. Sooner or later it will start to leak.
