I've made an oily mess on a couple occasions (my own fault) but I think that is behind me now.

It goes AC condenser, CAD, then radiator.
One other point: this issue may have been brewing for a couple years. I was remembering that I would lose AC cooling while stopped for red lights and such, and then it occurred to me that I didn't do any trailering last year due to the pandemic.
I was able to clean all the fuzz off the face of the radiator by laying it back (without completely removing it) and spraying the leading side with brake clean and the garden hose.
I'm optimistic that this is going to take care of both my problems (although....it's 32 degrees out there right now).
