Dry Cam Chain

The cam chain on my 6ltr V12 is dry (no noticeable oil). The engine has only done 22000 miles, is showing good oil pressure and was serviced 600 miles ago. Having never owned a V12 I'd like to know is this normal, if not what could be the problem?

After talking to David my mind is at peace. I'm used to pulling motorbikes and the odd Jeep Wrangler to bits and those cam chains are dripping with oil. On the V12 a hint of oil is OK. Took the car on a 75 mile run today, no problems.

i didn't think the cam chains sat in an oil bath , as they can be removed without draining the engine oil,
good you got peace of mind though
enjoy
