Oil leak and the flame trap 850 1997

Greetings,
My wifes '97 850 started to use about a quart of oil every day (65 mile round trip.) I replaced the flame trap, and the oil use has stopped. The engine is oil covered on the timing belt end. Should I expect to need to replace the timing belt and the cam and crank seals? The engine has 245,000 mile, and the timing belt is due for a change. Should I replace the rollers and tensioner and the belt? Just looking to get everything done while I am in there.

Thanks,
Stuart
