I cleaned mine when i did my last oil change. I doubt there would be any oil in it if the engine had been off for a few minutes.

It was a very tricky job to get the plug undone and fish it out with pliers. One of the little plastic tabs on the end of mine was missing but i couldn't see any debris in it. That said 10,000 miles before that i ran engine flush through for 40 minutes because of a timing chain rattle which the flush cured.

So evidently the tensioner or VVT cam was losing oil pressure. The flush fixed it.
