The drive chain for the oil pump... is it supposed to be fairly loose?
The one on my bike is...

There's no specs on how snug the chain should be, nor is there a way to adjust the slack.
It only drives the oil pump, so it's not like it's under a huge load or anything.
It's possible for the chain to wear out (just as any part), but since it's bathed in filtered oil, it's got to last practically forever.
I wouldn't worry about it. Unless something caused the chain and sprockets to wear, or were damaged by loose bits or debris.
