I have a slow leak on the passenger side on the bottom of my engine and can’t find where it’s originating. Has anyone used an oil dye with success?

Most of us just look at the usual suspects: valve cover gaskets, oil cooler seals, push rod tube seals, oil pressure switch, rear main seal, missing t-stat bolt, distributor o-ring, oil fill tower gasket....
Oil dye could sure offer clues, though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
