Black Light and Dye Method

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Chevrolet Aveo. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A dye and light kit is available for finding leaks. Refer to the manufacturer's directions when using the kit.

  1. Pour the specified amount of dye into the engine oil fill tube.
  2. Operate the vehicle under normal operating conditions as directed in the kit.
  3. Direct the light toward the suspected area. The dyed fluid will appear as a yellow path leading to the source.
