No, there is no Chip detector for the epicyclic on the L or L2, only a mag plug. However, its all in the same oil system so chips from the epicyclic can still make their way to the chip detector in the sump. It would be interesting to know to what extent the mag plug captures epicyclic chips, thus denying them their rightful place on the sump chip detector.
The 332L2 MGB do have two chip detectors one installed just below the epicyclic and a second one in the sump. Both detectors are connected to HUMS, a chip will be displayed on the HUMS groundstation. Only the sump detector will light a cockpit chip warning.

332L/L1 do only have the sump detector.
