Oil and Belts.
I have a 2000 Accord LX 4cyl Vtec on which I just did a timing belt change. While in there I replaced my water pump and changed out my cam seal as I've been leaking oil from under the timing belt cover for some time. It was easy to see the cam seal was bad as I had oil on everything all the way up to the seal itself, and the seal popped out into my hand with the slightest coaxing. Now everything's back together but I'm still leaking oil from under the bottom of the lower cover, which suggests I actually had 2 oil leaks. So I'm going back in when I get a little time to locate and fix the other leak.
My question is, since it's only been about a week, will I be alright to clean the oil off and keep the two new belts installed, or do I have no choice other than to replace them again? Ive read quite a bit about the oil leaks in this area and everyone mentions replacing the belts due to "oil saturation."
TIA for any input..
