Looking for dye?

I am looking for a dye to put in motor oil to detect where a leak is coming from. My girlfriend's Explorer is barely seeping oil, and cleaning up underneath that beast would be too much work. Anyone know where I can get such stuff? Also, can it be used for coolant as well? Scott noticed the smell of antifreeze when we put the new calipers on the Civic, even though I'm not using any coolant... - AB

There's a product called All-in-One Oil Dye that's available that proports to not diminish your oil quality/life but I doubt if you want to put it in your radiator (the whole oil/water don't mix thing). I believe that I saw the stuff at Advance Auto several weeks ago, but I'd be lying if I was 100% sure.

I found a couple of sites with some nice kits, so I will be investing in one soon... Thanks Wes. - AB
