Timing Chain Tensioner Oil leak

Since the rebuild of my 97 Aero I have slowly been chasing down oil leaks. Thought I had the last one fixed but it has sprung another leak. This time its from the 13mm bolt at the end of the timing chain tensioner. Very definite. After about 20 seconds of the car starting it starts pouring out the small bolt I had changed the tensioner during the rebuild. I suppose there are seals within the tensioner. Kinda pisses me off as its a new tensioner. Anyone seen this before? Any way to change it out without taking apart half the engine?
Thanks
