I have a leaking front oil seal and the belts have oil on them. I'll have the seal replaced as soon as I can, but will the oil affect the belts ? In other words, can I drive it until the seal is replaced?

Oil WILL destroy the belts. They should be replaced. If it's the crankshaft seal that's leaking be sure to replace the oil pump sleeve as well, the sleeve develops a groove that will leak even with a new seal.
