Is the noisy chain like a loud tick every revolution ?, if it is it may well be grinding away the metal around it, I know on the 4 cyl engines it could wear through where it hit causing leaks etc, due to an outside link piece on the chain coming loose and flapping around as still attached other end of the link.
