If it is only weeping, don't agonize about it. If it is dripping steadily, you may not be able to torque the the new balancer bolt back on with home tools. It should not take a good mechanic more than an hour labor.

Type/brand/style of oil is irrelevant. It's a wear thing, you can try one of those seal treatment chemicals if it's weeping, but don't expect results.

The bolt on the harmonic balancer needs to be replaced and the torque spec is 74 Ft.Lb. + 125 degrees. I don't know how you would hold the crankshaft.
