It looks like you barfed up an AC condenser. Could be a rock strike or just old age. Pull the bumper cover for a peek. If you had "0" system pressure to start with, there was already a good size leak present.
As for your oily substance, there is oil in with the refrigerant charge to lubricate the compressor. Betcha that's what you're seeing there.
