The plate I replaced behind the crank sprocket and the piece that goes between the sprocket and the crank pulley is what centers the belt. The belt's natural tendency is to ride slightly over the edge of the crank and cam gears, as I witnessed. I centered the belt on all the gears and started the car w/o the timing cover on. The tendency to move over a bit is what I witnessed, but I know that the outer plate would prevent the belt from rubbing if the timing cover was in place.
It's got to be one of the seals rubbing (crank seal most likely)...there's nothing else to consider.
