Hello. Replaced all 3 front engine seals & timing belt.

I have a very tiny oil leak at crank seal. Sure I installed it well. So question # 1 is : Since there is space can I just push back one I put in and put another in front of it ? That way there are 2 instead of just 1 .

Question 2 : Why does timing belt tensioner have to be tightened/locked down ? Isn't it's purpose to keep belt tight If left unlocked wouldn't it be free to tighten belt "automatically" ? By the way : I did not leave it untightened. After Replacinement of tensioner & belt I did tighten it. Then after driving ~ 10 miles loosened and re-tightened it. Will do so again after ~ 500 miles.

Thanks for your info/replies on these questions.
