Default Front Seal leak...

Just changed my Harmonic Balancer a week ago since it was wobbling......(you may remember my old posts)

I know that it is recommended to change the front seal during this job, but since I replaced it when I did my H/C/I a month ago...I figured it would be fine

Guess not....now it is leaking oil [:@]

Do you think that it is just the seal? Or perhaps some permanent damage from my old wobbling balancer??

It was not leaking before though.......so I hope it is just the seal.

Any tips on changing it? Theonly time I everdid it I had the timing chain cover out of the car.....

Is it a pain while the timing chain cover is installed??

you will need a seal puller. And be careful not to nick the timing cover.
