You're both right -- Paranormal Animals of Europe (the last book to
include paranormal power descriptions) split Essence Drain into Permanent
and Temporary variants. It mentions that "All creatures referred to in
other sourcebooks [than PAoE] as having the Essence drain power possess
the permanent version." so unless the blood spirit's power mentions that
it is the temporary version, the Essence lost to it is gone forever.
