Elvis Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 What does an oil leak look under UV light ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchwrench Posted August 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 I tried a snap on pencil light. not a true UV. Turbine oil is floresent as a byproduct of design.I find it invalueable in the quest for a dry engine.Used it to isolate the component seal vs split line leaks also.never used on pistons.but dyes are available for prestone and oils also.

twotter Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Hey all.. Just a thought that may save you some money but did you ever consider cleaning the area and just using some developer and the Mark I eyeball to find a leak?? Why spend all this money on something that is not necessary?? Just my opinion.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
