No.  The problem he is describing is the inner and out parts of the 
crankshaft pulley (aka harmonic balancer) assembly.  The pulley fits on the 
end of the crankshaft and there is a seal that fits in the timing chain 
cover that mates to this assembly, but the rubber he is talking about is 
sandwiched between the two press fit parts of the pulley.

But before you go overboard here, just get some white-out (typing correction 
fluid) and paint a line across the face (like the diameter) of the 2 piece 
pully assembly.  Drive it and make it squeek.  Stop the engine and see if 
the white-out line is no longer continuous.  If it is still continuous it is 
not slipping.  If the line no longer lines up on the inner and outer 
portions you have diagnosed your problem.
