leak detection dye
Hey guys/ gals, I just got my truck back up and running after an EGR delete, 03 turbo swap, ported intake/ 05+ intake elbow and after about 30 minutes of driving, I noticed that the valley is showing dampness already and was curious if anyone has tried UV detection dye? The leak is likely relatively small but after working for the past week to get the engine bay spotless while it was apart, I would like to take care of any leaks- its an OCD thing 
. My question is, are there any things to worry about when using dye in a motor that is so finicky about oil. Also, is there any worry about it staining anything and would it be safe to leave in the engine for another 3k miles?( I just did an oil change about 1k ago) Here is what I want to use:
