I was surprised to learn that engine oils show up nicely under UV light
without any dye. A dye may make it glow even brighter, but with a good UV
light you can see oil leaks just fine as long as there's a little shade.
Here's one - Amazon has quite a few, and I was amazed at the quality and low
price of the one (looks identical) that I bought a few years ago.

PS - Also reveals biological products of all sorts on all types of surfaces
in all types of places. Not for the squeamish...

Has anyone here used one of these products? Are there any specific engine
types that it shouldn't be used on?
