Default Leak dye kit

ceslaw Chuck go to autozone or pep boys and buy the engine leak down kit. Comes with glasses, special light and a couple of bottles of dye for the engine oil. Put the dye in the oil and drive the car for 5 miles. Use the light and glasses and see where the leak is. It leaves a nice bright trail for external leaks. Will not hurt motor. After repair is done clean area with brakekleen and road test again. Recheck. Are the parts new on the motor? Block, Heads, and intake manifold? Possible machine problem of different angle on mounting surfaces. Rick L.
