Harmonic balancer failure

Stupid question here. I read somewhere about someone putting some RTV on the crank so the oil doesn't leak from around the balancer . Does this sound right?

I think the RTV is a temp fix. You need to buy a Harmonic balancer sleeve. It will stop the oil leaking. The trick is to place the sleeve in the freezer the night before you put it on the crank and it will slid right on the you will be able to put your new Harmonic balancer on. Click on the link and you can see what one looks like.

Hope this helps.
