So it was leak dye for the AC and it should have been oily as the dye is in the oil, which means silver solder would have worked just fine and would be permanent fix as silver solder is used to solder in components on refrigeration systems.

Yes, the oily substance was the leak dye for the AC. I'm particular with my vehicles and I want them to run perfect so I decided to fix it right, here are some pics of the fix. The one single line was replace with 2 parts as I don't believe they can ship a metal freon line the length of an Excursion. <o></o><o></o><o></o>
