Timing Belt Question!!!

hi all. ok here is the deal, about 2 weeks ago i went for a timing belt/water pump job on my tegger. also i got the crack and the oil seals replaced. Now here comes the bad new; the mechanic DID NOT PUT the right seals in the right places and the engine LEAKED Engine oil. now i live in Georgetown and i got the car serviced in Jane and 400 and i drove home not know that oil was leaking until the red light flashed on my dash. ok to end this quickly and get to my question i got the car towed back to the mechanic and he fixed it.

NOW MY QUESTION IS: IF Engine oil/Engine coolant has leaked and contaminated the timing belt in anyway, do i have to replace the timing belt?



NEED HELP!!!

LOL the timing belt should be fine. If you want you can tell him you want a new one anyways. I can't believe he installed the seals wrong LOL...
