Oil soaked timing belt?

Oil soaked timing belt?
1985 245 non-turbo.
Just replaced the timing belt and seals, pushed the crank seal in too far. Drove, leaked oil everywhere. Took it back apart and replaced the seals because I had a second set. I did NOT have a second timing belt though, so I reused the brand new one, although it was oil soaked pretty good, but only for a short time. I've heard it's not good to use an oil soaked timing belt, but I've never understood why. Am I going to be OK using this belt or should I buy another one and take it all apart again?
