Well it worked great for a few days. The belly leak it had was fixed by my new orings but the shaft seal even though I changed it has sprung a leak. Im gonna have to look at it to see if its gonna be worth fixing it again or not.

typically not worth fixing again really, my reccommendation to you would to get a new compressor that has a single body instead of the bolted together design of the original compressor. Over time the body warps as the compressor engages and such and it can't really be corrected except with replacing with a reman unit or new and I say go new it can't hurt its usually only 50 or so bucks more plus a much better warranty, btw I work in autoparts for a living so I'm not just feeding you a line good luck

If anyone is interested, these actually leak because of improper and/or uneven torque of the compressor mounting bolts. make sure you torque the bolts every time it is off for any reason.
