Default Dry oil stain behind crankshaft pulley

Hey guys,

As mentioned in the title , today i was checking my engine and i noticed a dry small stain around the crankshaft pulley. Also the pulley itself was covered with oil stains and dirt from inside.Now i believe i noticed the dirt inside the pulley long time ago.There is no oil leak or oil puddle under the car not even few drops and the oil is full . Any ideas?

There is a key that has to have a bead of silicone on place of it pryor to install. I did this when I changed my stock to under drive pullys. I read taco bills writeup on the install of the steeda UDP's a while back and he had the same problem from factory. If it bothers you you can remove it and place a bead of high temp silicone in the key slot and re torque in the right procedure. Hope this helps..
