Suppose I have Project X under closed source. It references/links to component Y which is LGPL, we make modifications to component Y

1) We release Project X binaries with the source to the modified component Y

OR

2) We contribute component Y modifications back upstream (to the original author(s)) and release Project X binaries without component Y source.

Does any of these scenarios comply with the LGPL?
