timing chain noise?

hello,

ok heres the problem:

Just had an oil leak fixed, the mechanic replaced some seals including the timing chain seal, when i first start my car and put it on drive i get this thumping like noise (thump, thump, thump) coming from the timing chain part of the car, after i drive it for like a minute or 2 the sound goes away and stays away until i park the car and let it sit for a while. I dont hear this sound when i first start the car and the car is on park. Any help would be great! thanks

The tensioner could be bad. If the chain is really slapping around get this fixed ASAP. If the chain jumps.....no more motor
