There isn't really oil under pressure in the timing chain area. The 
tensioner gets oil under pressure which is then directed onto the chain. Oil 
gets thrown around by the moving chain.

Did you do anything else in addition to the replacing the timing chain 
cover? There is an oil galley plug partially hidden behind the engine front 
plate. Did you remove that galley plug and forget to replace it?
