It seems to have more of an ink-like consistency more than it does oil.
Didn't seem to stain, either. Comes up just fine with water + paper towel.
The oil used in refrigeration systems is like mineral oil, so it isn't thick or stain like most engine oil.
Oh dear..
Good to know, though. Thank you.
It's okay, the refrigerant in your fridge is low toxicity, and if it loses the 6 oz of charge in its system, no people or pets are at any kind of risk.
