Where is it located? Any tips or how-to's? I am minorly mechanically inclined - just swapped out the serpentine belt fairly easily - the only other thing the inspection called for was a new timing chain tensioner because it's leaking.

Tried a little searching and came up empty handed. Is it something I should tackle myself or have a shop do it? I already have the part: 135400D010.

What else do I need? I do not have a repair manual- just the owners manual which says nothing about this.

Thanks!

I think you got a bad diagnosis. The timing chain is inside the engine and the chain tensioner (I think) is nothing but a spring. I'm guessing you need a serpentine belt tensioner. See the thread that GT4 posted above.

The serpentine belt tensioner commonly leaks?

Is it important I swap it out now?

That's the part I thought was visibly leaking a little - you can see the residue around it.
