Leak Detection (Dye) Kits

Anyone in the group know of a good source for leak detection kits? (Just for oil, not AC or coolant).. I've seen some of the kits out there, but they all seem to be for shops who do a lot of work... Are they any smaller, less expensive kits for DIY'ers, etc?

TIA, Ben

You can buy the dye for various applications - engine, coolant, a/c, etc. - at NAPA - and probably other stores oriented toward "professional" customers as opposed to the DIY customer.

You can buy black-light bulbs at nursery and plant stores, and novelty stores such as Spencer Gifts in the malls.

Pour the dye in....make the area dark......scan all around the engine with the black-light. Wherever it glows under the black-light, it is leaking.
