That’s what I was meaning. I agree that Slim to no chance of actual pieces of belt could make it past the seal area unless the seal was completely pushed into engine. Also I suppose it could be dct oil as there’s lines running down there too that could have been hit. Wish I had a lift to look from under and remove pan.

The belt making its way into the motor along with pieces of the front seal is not uncommon and is very possible.
