The dealer can only spread it around so you can get a better look.

I do not allow dealers to spread the pot. The dealer should not be touching the pot.

QFT, HANDS OUT OF THE POT at all times!

The only situations that would require a dealer to touch the pot is the dealer is taking rake or making needed change for blinds/cash that was bet.

Pot bets only count in Pot Limit. The dealer is not allowed to aid the players in the play of a hand, up to and including telling them how much the pot is to help them figure out bet sizing/pot odds.

So is the dealer allowed to touch the pot in pot limit?

If not, what happens if the dealer says the pot is one amount but one of the players in the hand claims he is wrong?

Pot limit is one of those games where the dealer has to touch the pot. I haven't played much live, casino PL but at our home games we have the dealer stack the bets in the middle to make counting easier.
