Hard to say why the noise came and then went, but oil from the balancer area is most likely the seal. You will need a harmonic balancer remover to fix.

Ed, I'd actually be surprised if your local auto shop had one. Our workshop certainly doesn't have one because they borrow mine whenever we need one  Best bet is to ask someone at your club for a loan or if they would come round and give you some help one weekend. Ken |

Ed, I think you must be thinking of a red motor harmonic balancer remover as Grey motor harmonic balancer removers are rare! ACE  |

I thought I could make one if I could work out the thread, size in the balancer.
So Ken if you happen to know the size and the thread it would be a great help.

I've measured the thread and it is 1 and 1/8 inch diameter with 12G pitch.

Removed balancer expected to find lots of oil ...nothing!!!
On further investigation saw a lump on the sump.
Not happy. Will start new thread.
