Balancer act

I've got 120 K on my harmonic balancer and I am just really uncomfortable with a preemptive replacement. It's clean, it's dry, the slip reference marks are just like the day I put 'em on a coupla years ago ... it looks to be in wonderful shape. How many people really think I need to put a new one on? Those of you who have had catastrophic failures: Had the balancer been subjected to oil (leaky seal)? Did you check it regularly?
I keep an eye on mine, and I mean, it looks just fine. The rubber is in very good shape. I have a hard time believing it will just fail catastrophically one day. I really wonder how much a part oil leaks play in the failures.
