What surprised me is that after I wrote my first question, I disconnected it slowly at the engine block, just wanting to see if oil was going to ooze from the block, finally being able to take it off altogether with no leakage at all, either from the block OR the tube. The oil that had made it up the tube to cause the leakage at the hole had all drained back down into the block.
If that is always true, there is no need to prime. If it drained because of the hole providing an air leak, then maybe it does.
I'll decide tomorrow when I'm doing it, I guess. The gauge-panel has to be off to connect to the gauge, but if the battery's connected in order to turn over the engine, I'll be risking short-circuits with the wires being 'live'. Maybe the gauge alone can be extended from the gauge-panel.
Daylight will tell. Right now, I have to get back to my still-warm-from-the-oven peach pie.
