Harmonic balancer oil leak?
#11
Seems like they used be called vibration dampeners because that is what they do.
On an externally balanced engine the dampener is not perfectly balanced, it will have a heavy side to compensate for an non balanced crankshaft in the engine.
Maybe someone else will jump in and do a better job of explaining than I can.

the difference between a question and a statement is that a question would like an answer, and a statement has the answer. so i dont think i said they dont have one. i believe i was asking dumbass

the 5.2L is internally balanced so the HB is statically balanced, its job is to absorb crankshaft harmonics. A 5.9L is externally balanced, the HB on this engine is basically the same as the 5.2 except it has a counterweight on it. also the 5.9 will have a counterwieght on the opposite side of rotation mounted on the flywheel or flexplate.

5.2 does have HB.
i don't know that its possible to put the seal in wrong. it sort of only goes one way.
it might need a sleeve. its also possible that it just failed...
i put new seals on the rear axles of my daughter's 4runner. one worked like it was supposed to and the other one leaked and i had to replace it again. don't know why, but it just did.
$hit, that's a lot of work to replace that seal again.
