Found loose spring in oil sump - what is it?

well,the chain tensionser is oil pressure driven, right? the spring is just there to keep a little tension on the chain while starting up?

 

so, once the car is running, you wont notice a chain tensionser spring missing because the oil pressure will be doing all the work. IF youve got the pan off, might as well pull hte front cover and make sure there is a spring in the tensioner. I always thought the oil pan was the biggest PITA in tremoving the front cover.
