All sprockets are marked except for the oil pump drive which is also the balancer shaft and must be correctly aligned.

You have a leak at the seals which is causing oil to be dumped in the area, which should be dry at all times as the timing belt can break prematurely when contaminated by oil. The seals are leaking and has to be replaced..
