I installed a new balancer. Now I notice plenty more oil dripping out. And I am wondering if I was supposed to put silicone, or RTV on the washer that holds the balancer on. The Haynes manual says nothing about doing this.
I noticed when I took the bolt and washer off, there was a chunk of clear silicone on the washer - still stinky. BTW, the dealer mechanic reinstalled my balancer recently (when I brought the car in to have them pull a broken timing cover bolt - long story - but when they put the timing cover back on, they also reinstalled the balancer and the retaining bolt)
