Inert fluorescent oil colouring for leak finding?

[Anonymous]

Inert fluorescent oil colouring for oil leak finding.

Is there such a thing? It would make finding those small oil leaks a lot easier.


Any suggestions.

Why not do what has been suggested elsewhere on this forum: Clean the area in question well, then spray with aerosol foot powder to coat. It should now be easy to see where the leak originates.

It seems the answer is "Yes". Here is one such product I found on a google search:

Did you ever see the movie Gone in 30 Seconds The part where the BLACK light is shined on the car list written on the black board and the names magically appear Same principal

i used a flouresent dye to find leakes in my bike. the kit i used has a Blacklight you use as a light sourse and the oil glowed yellow-green. the nice thing about it was you can also tell the severity of the leak by using the dye. and you dont have to clean the engine before you use it.
