Oil Dye?? Hazards?
I have been trying to locate an oil leak on my 406 for some time with no results. I purchased some UV oil dye that is used specifically for leak detection. Anyone used this? Any potential problems with the dye?
Thanks

:lol: How's about the old flour trick Dream'n? Just throw around enough white flour in the suspect areas and run it 'till you see the leak trail. Just give'er a wash when done. :thumbs:

cardo0 Haven't heard of that one before! Sounds like a practical effective method though!
Turns out I found my oil leak without dye :eek:

I hope it is not sucking the oil into the heads becasue of an Intake leak like mine did. I lost oil but had no leaks, then discovered the bottom of the intake did nto seal on the bottom of the heads.
Good luck!
