You might want to google "oil pickup seal" no need to mention insignia it will know

Its mainly the prefacelift like the OP.
Still not a common fault, but admittedly is a fault that can crop up.
I have a pre-facelift.Take it to a new garage, if they are knowledgeable they will know that the insignia is a cam-belt. Not a cam chain.
I must admit that was what I thought. But fortunately I googled it before posting and some are cambelt and some camchain
Pre facelift = cam belt. I know I have physically changed that and the water pump on my own. Engine code AD20DTH, which is the 160 version.
I believe (but could be corrected as I'm sure will happen) the chains are on the facelift 140 & 170 variants (not the 130/160).Life isn't about the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away. Like choking....0
