There was no solder on mine. I used some Hylomar Blue gasket sealant at the joint when I put it back together.

there was no solder when i took it out

it just says in the manual could be a cause for leaks and says resolder

Just sits in - no harm putting hylomar on it - but it doesn't need it. There really shouldn't be any oil there.
