So I recently went out on a limb and purchased/imported an AAZ from Canada. It was sort of an impulse buy and I may or may not be having buyers remorse

. Anyway, since it is going in an MK1, I started removing some of the sensors that are connected to the top of the LDA. I didn't realize these bolts also held the cover of the LDA on. The cover popped off and leaked out some black liquid which I speculate is diesel. My first question is it that normal for black diesel to come out when removed? Second, did I muck anything up by pulling that cover off?
I also have another (stupid) question. The service interval on timing belts on these motors is something close to 60k miles.
This motor was verified with ~90k or the equivalent in kilometers. Although I did not get a service history, (this is where the stupid part comes in) there is still manufacturing stamps/writing on the belt itself which leads me to believe its relatively fresh. Should I change it anyway? I feel like I'm answering my own question here but i just wanna throw it out there.
Im sorry if this is already covered somewhere I searched but maybe my keywords were wrong.
TIA
