Loosen the four banjo bolts at the omp and idle the engine/rev the engine and see if there is a puddling of oil under the car. Even, and much better. remove the rod at the throttle body and tie it to the full up positon while doing the idle routine. THEN after ten/fifteen minutes tell us there is/is not oil puddling under the car.
The engine is not going to turn to trash if the omp does not work over as short a period as say several hundred miles. That's my guess with no facts to back it up other than the first RX's did not have omp's and didn't wear out for several tens of thousands of miles.

I'll have to add the word "ooches" to my technical jargon...
Any particular reason you want the MOP to continue functioning? Premix is better for the engine.
Since you're premixing right now, I'd say just drive it around for a while and see what happens. It may take a while for the MOP to prime itsself and start pushing oil. You won't hurt the engine at all (especially since you're premixing). Take it out on the highway, get the oil nice and warm, cruise around for a while, and see if you get any oil in those lines.
