RE: White Smoke

I've tried the dye you can get at Napa, or other parts stores, for finding oil leaks, but I don't know if it was bad dye, or if the cheap black-light bulb I bought at the local variety store wasn't the right type. The told it me it would work with the dye, so I bought one. Apparently, it isn't enough UV, or as I said, the dye was old, or junk, or whatever.

I know that Eastwood sells a kit, with a flourescent UV light, but it was about $80, if I remember properly. Came with the light and either one, or several dyes, for oil, coolant, trans, and I think a seperate dye for AC.

I've seen it used in shops, so I know it works.
That's if it's too hard to pinpoint, obviously.

It might all be internal, though, and that means a tough time of telling what exactly is wrong.

Unless you're an expert at engine sounds and smoke patterns :)

Good luck, regardless.
This thread, so far...
