Title: timing chain oil leak
Post by: Bigfoot on February 22, 2016, 11:28:03 AM

Took the jazz for its first service and the dealer told me there was a timing chain oil leak. appears to be an issue??? Has anyone had the same issue?

I think that you need more information.
The timing chain itself cannot leak oil but the dealer may mean that there is an oil leak from that end of the engine,
( the left hand end as you face the engine from the front of the car) although I have never heard of this on a Jazz.
I have heard of spilt oil from the oil filler area running down the engine and giving the impression of an oil leak.
Was this a Honda dealership ?
