A warped head will cause a gasket to fail, the process of replacing the gasket includes checking the head for warped surfaces. At this point it is hard to say what caused the gasket to fail.

There should be no reason to 'adjust' the timing belt: it is either fitted and working or not fitted..therefore having to replace one? If you do have to replace one, it is not a job for the faint hearted! You will also have to make sure you have a spare car for back-up.. e.g: if you plan to do this job and get driving in short time think again... You need as much room, both visual and physical around the plastic timing cover, you need to ensure the timing cogs are pre marked (with dots) showing what is called TDC (top dead centre) ENSURE THESE DOTS LINE UP PERFECTLY BEFORE REMOVAL AND AFTER RE-FITTING NEW BELT.. apart from that crucial bit.. it's simply a matter of cleanliness and patience.. remember to loosen the belt tensioner prior and re-tighten after fitting new belt.. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!

It's highly unlikely to cause any annoyance.. is it a modern plastic pen? If so, then it is weaker than the high tensile steel cable that has to move to operate the handbrake.If it is a plastic it will lubricate any metal it rubs against..If it is metal use a magnet and go 'fishing'...
