After reading this post, which I think is great I found a mod to plug this passage making the compressor a wet sump. http://www.jedi.com/obiwan/jeep/york_oilmod.html
Just keep in mind thats a very debatable solution. There have been many people that have done it and many that have been successful and many that say it can shorten the life of the compressor. Something about building up to much pressure in the case and not having a way for it to escape. Yadda, Yadda, Yadda. I've never done it myself
