Did you put silicone sealant into the keyway before installing it?

You want to use RTV sealant - it's like a copper/silicone mix that can handle the engine bay temps. Regular silicone paste will melt.

Is it the harmonic balancer or the crank pulley? Usually oil leaks with pulleys come from the crank pulley.
