Post a link to a picture of the mess or send directly to. Using dyes is a very common method of locating fluid leaks.


Dennis,
From my phone.

Subject: Oil Leak


The oil leak continues - but I did get the coolant leak stopped.
Replaced a small hose.


The oil leak is another matter. My 88 GL is in the shop right now up na
a rack getting a good look over. The mechanic says the top side is dry
ans a bone, but the bottom is washed clean with leaking oil - and it's
not obvious where the leak is. Recommended washing it up,n removing
exterior oil and grease and adding a dye to the oil and running it a day
or so - then taking another look with a black light or something.


Anyone ever hear of chasing an oil leak this way. I'm funny about oil
additives.




Thanks,


John
