I'm inclined to think you're in the clear but if you decide to take a look at the cam chain and tensioner, you can remove the latter without needing a gasket change but you need to follow the procedure in the Haynes or workshop manual.
You can view the lower part of the camchain run by removing the right-hand engine cover. That might require a new gasket if you haven't previously removed that cover because they tend to stick and rip. If you do remove/refit that cover, grease the new gasket on both sides to ensure it will come off easily in future.
