Oil leak detection kit

[Phil C]

I'm looking for an oil leak detection kit, ie dye, UV torch, special goggles. Saw one by Ring, but it got mixed reviews including some bad.  Any recommendations please anyone?

I have used the ring kit for the last 4 years  no problem. Actually i have found a lot of oils  morris etc glow in uv when new.

A couple of questions:

1.  Looking again the Ring kit (Amazon), it appears from the Q&As that the kit I was looking at is for water-based fluids/air con systems?  I would want one for engine oil. Anybody know a suitable kit? cdsdorset, which one is yours?

2.  Also, I guess goggles are needed, but is that for eye protection, or to enhance the glow of the dye?

RLD4 ring dye for oil on ebay. No goggles , just a uv torch.

Thanks cdsdorset. I'll order some.  I'm a little bit concerned that once the dye is in the oil every little leak, and in every tiny nook and cranny, will be giving off a vivid fluorescent glow, so I guess I might have to change the oil afterwards. Anyway, we'll see how it goes. Thanks again.

It will only glow if you park it on the dance floor of your local nightclub
