Mechanic came by today, this is exactly what happened. the belt ate away the seal.

He recommends me to change the timing belt aswell if i'm going to replace the seal. reason being that oil has gone everywhere so if there's oil on the belt it could slip and break the engine and also due to the fact that the car has 108.000 miles.

edit: The car has a chain and as for as I know, they're bulletproof?

What do u guys recommend?
