It is particularly useful on aircraft engines because you have all the air blowing across the engine so you wind up with oil over everything so it is impossible to pinpoint the origin point. Put in the dye and run it just a few minutes and look and you can find the origin point before it has had a chance to get all over the place. The dyes also work great for coolant system leaks in your car, brake and transmission fluid, etc. I did a demo for our EAA chapter once so played with it on a lot of different things first to get pictures. I just got a cheapie kit at the auto parts store.

Hadn't come across that before. Gonna try that on my O-200 (which doesn't lose much but always puts a smear of oil down the side of the aircraft after 20 or 30 minutes of flight). e _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/.
