The A/C started to blow not as cold just when the P/S Pump started to leak its fluid got all over the A/C compressor. Coincidence? or is the P/S Pump leak killing the A/C compressor by soaking it with P/S fluid?

i don't think so.
it is probably huge coincidence.
AC is a sealed unit. you are probably just getting low on freon.
When my power steering pump went the AC clutch became soaked with oil and started slipping. Fix it and degrease the clutch. I left mine for a long time and the rubber in the clutch deteriorated. If you leave this your clutch will eventually need to be replaced or at least be shimmed.
I agree. The clutch will not last long if it's covered with oil.Quote:

I don't think putting the PS pump right above the AC was a very smart move by Honda.
