tensioner leak

I have a 2nd gen 2010 sport trac 4.0, replaced the timing chain tensioner rear and now it leaks like a water fall. Do the tenisoners have to be primed before installation?

What is leaking, coolant or oil? What all did you pull to replace the rear tensioner? The more detail you can provide, the better suggestions this forum will be able to offer.

Timing chain tensioner

Sorry, it's leaking oil from the right rear timing chain tensioner,also i dont think it was primed before installation, could that be the culprit?
