Black Light and DYE Method

A dye and black light kit (SA9175-NE) is available for finding leaks. Refer to the manufacturer's directions when using the kit.
1. Pour the specified amount of dye into the leaking component.
2. Operate the vehicle under normal operating conditions.
3. Direct the light towards the suspected component. The dyed fluid will appear as a brightly colored path leading back to the leak.
