Engine oil dye

Do you have oil leaks for something?

 

Seek a doctor not mechanic

 

Power wash it, and run it a bit. Throw some talcum powder at it.

 

If you already know where the leak is, what good would dye do you?

27 years experience here as mechanic, and I've never needed to dye oil to find a leak. Hell, I've never even heard it suggested.

 

Yep. Been working for years.

 

No difference between diesel and gas oil dye. If a DD15 common oil leak is around rocker box

 

Mmm-hmm, I can hear it now down the road,,,"yep, here's your bearing failure cause, engine dye,,,we see this a lot",,, for all we know, the "dye guys" sell reman motors. I've heard of black light dye in the coolant, as those leaks are harder to spot, but an oil leak should be pretty obvious. Sounds like a head gasket, and poor pavrom troubles continue, "it's a always a somethin",,

 

Isnt that just the reality of any o/o ?
