Harmonic Balancer

Ok so today i was out messing with my 01 and noticed that the Harmonic Balancer was wobbling a little.. truck starts and runs fine. what could cause this to happen. i checked the 4 bolts and they seem to be fine. i do see some oil on the motor around the seal for the HB so i'm sure the front seal is shot... hoping i dont have to rebuild this thing

Thanks,
Eric

Check the two marks if they are still in alignment should be ok as long as wobble isn't excessive. Check for any cracks also make sure torque is at 92 ft lbs.

Yes replace it since it shifted and could come off the hub.
