Do 550 engines have chain oilers?

Seems that my drive chain is getting oiled.

You don't happen to have an o-ring chain on that 550, do you?

Behind the left cover several seals can leak a bit. This might give the impression your chain is oiled. If it's not too much, don't worry.

Well, that's what I thought....but figured I'd ask.  Looking at all the engine drawings showed nothing.

Thanks
