Not sure if I follow but there is a very small diameter tube, with a screw-on nut/fitting, that's part of the expansion valve... #9 in this picture. Is that what you are talking about?
Air Conditioning Evaporator-3.6/5.3 Litre - Parts For XJS from (V)139052 to (V)179736 | Jaguar Heritage Parts UK
The expansion valve itself bolts to one of the evaporator tubes. I can be replaced separately...about $25 for a new one.

On the pic above you can barely see behind the compression nut another tube coming up with a fitting......im uploading another pic.(guessing it will be below) of a picture from bernards website the piece im speaking of looks to have a black cap on it. In my circumstance its not capped...ill have to dig more to see where it goes.

Maybe that #9 piece is the piece that screws into the tube....that also has the male end for ac hose to attach to.....i really need to get in there and clean it up, all the tar insulation......remove some items to get pictures and get a better assessment. I just was hoping that any break if its on this side of the firewall thier may be a possible fix without removing entire dash to replace what "I" broke........

May be a little hard to diagnose with bubbles, I'd suggest refrigerant premixed with UV dye. If there's enough of a leak it will show where it's seeping from.

At least the 88 doesn't have airbags, that makes pulling the dash easier. I've taken the dash out of my 94 and it's actually easier to remove than the dashes I've taken out of other cars ( Crown Victoria begin a prime example).
As far as dash removals go, the XJS isn't bad at all.

It is so nice to see the mood-change after some days.
There is nothing I can add to this problem, but I am following it with amazement.
Good luck, you will get to it!

Plumbing fittings and AC fittings are different sizes. I believe a plumbing fitting uses inside diameter and AC uses outside diameter. A "1/2 inch" plumbing pipe is actually 5/8" OD. AC pipe is 1/2" OD.
Even if you did get the right size fitting I would think it would be very difficult to get a good joint in that location? It does need to be able to take 300 psi.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think an evaporator replacement is in your future.
