Default balancer seal

Did a run on the dyno and found an oil puddle under the car. Drove home and found that the bolt had backed out and the pulley had moved forward about 1/4 inch. There were just a few drops after the drive home. Do yo think my seal will need replacing. and if so, has anyone replaced one without removing the cover?

Ya you will have to remove the balancer and replace the seal. And either use a NEW OEM bolt or the ARP bolt.
