MoparFreak69, I'm aware that there is little oil in the compressor, that is why I waited to turn on the A/C until I thought it could circulate enough to leak, or not. For now, it's working fine as far as cooling goes. I'll add that even in the Winter here cars get fairly warm inside after sitting in the sun.

maxcichon, I haven't pulled the filter unit off to see how my breather resealing handiwork is doing, but I will tomorrow.

However, I remain concerned that the oil around both the filter unit and steering pump might fall under what has happened to me way too many times for me to dismiss these as not being a problem. The far too many times is when the answer is, "Gosh, I've never seen this problem in this place before."

And while I can see that if the A/C compressor's seal is out, there are oily places (mostly cleaned up) around the oil filter unit and definitely the steering pump, that most likely would not get oil if it is solely the A/C compressor.

But, yes, I'll keep checking.
