balancer and oil leak

I have a wobble in my crank pulley. I'm sure that's probably the infamous harmonic balancer. I also have an oil leak but i don't know where it's from. there is oil all around the oil pressure switch and timing cover. has anyone had this problem? I'm not sure if the leak is related to the wobble as there is no oil on my belt or pulley.
 
If the harmonic damper is wobbling you may have wiped out the front seal in the front cover of the engine. Given its location you may be blowing oil from that leak anywhere around the front side of the motor as well as down below it. You could also have leaking valve cover gaskets and that is just where the excess oil is collecting.
