So I'm in the middle of my 300k mile timing belt job. I've done an audi 1.8T and a jetta 2.0 TB with no issues, this is my first TB on a tdi. It looked like the cam seal was leaking, so I removed the sprocket (almost seemed welded on, had to rock it back and forth with some taps from a hammer to loosen it), and the tapered section now appears (to me) to be in sub-optimal condition. Also in the process of removing the center hub, when it finally cracked loose, I didn't counterhold it well enough, and it felt like it may have wacked a valve/piston together. The cam may have turned 30 deg or so, and the crank is locked at TDC. Do I need a new sprocket/hub? Should I be worried about a bent valve just from the force of the wrench? Also where should I suspect the oil is coming from? After removing the hub, it almost looks to me like it's coming from the valve cover. This is becoming very stressful, any advice would be greatly appreciated. I don't know how to post pictures here, but here's a link to them in my google drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2TU4RzezqLUUnpNOFNIZko0eXc
