If it is something with the chain tensioner, especially if it is the plastic guide you want to check the oil for debris as it can clog the oil pump pickup screen. I'd pull the filter cap to check for any signs of things in there and drain the oil into a clean catch pan to inspect with flashlight. Definitely a first step into diagnosing.
