But Walt told me to look behind the accumulator for an open-ended
 hose with a black, oily residue.   I am confused.  

I'm still not convinced that this is the problem. My windows don't 
slime, they just get a white powdery coating that best wipes off 
with a dry paper towel.

I think it may be a mix of both tap water and gallon water.  My 
preference would be for distilled water but I'm sure the PO used tap 
water.  I have no clue what the shop used when they rebuilt my 
cooling lines, but I'd hope it was bottled.
