Can it come from salvaging greens? I figured, as a blue item, it only came from salvaging blues (or better) - and that's the only way I've ever gotten it.

I have obtained some from the following:
- deconstructing items (better chance if the item is blue, but it's dropped from other levels too, although rarely)
- forging bars from ore (again, rare, but it can happen)
Disclaimer: these are ways I've obtained DO. Your mileage may vary. Past performance is no indicator of future returns.
(oh, and having points in your Blacksmithing perks that improve item extraction makes a big difference).
I often get absolutely nothing back from destructing blues. I have gotten quite a bit of Dwarven Oil from greens, but mostly I get it from refining ore.
Also, make sure to skill in to the skill that gives you more stuff when refining.
I've only ever found a single Grain Solvent (purple) so far, and that came from looting a treasure chest.
