It is important to install a new seal and use the balancer to center the front cover before completely tightening the bolts. This will align the cover and prevent the seal from leaking. I do not think anyone makes a repair sleeve for the LS1 pulley, so if the above procedure doesn't work get a new underdrive pulley.

I didn't mean to let the balancer out any, just don't push the seal in the cover as far or just try a new seal 1st..it may be ok. The old seal was hard and worn. A new seal will probably seal fine.
On a side note i'm near Stroudsburg.
