Antifeeeze circulation
I’ve lost a bit of antifreeze, maybe 1 qt. I don’t see any obvious spots, I feel it happened on a cool down with truck on a goofy angle in a cold climate.. I added a small bottle 1 oz of antifreeze glow dye to the overflow hoping if it leaks again I will find it . Will that mix throughout system that way? I’ve driven hundreds of interstate miles, the overflow has not changed levels, the dye sure glows with a purple light in the overflow, I just don't know if the system will or has cycled it throughout the radiator, hoses and systems? It's not like I can peek in the radiator. Your thoughts if it has circulated throughout?

I think (but I don't know for sure) that a few times around the circulation system will mix it up pretty well. After all, you don't put water and antifreeze in "together"; you pour in one, then top off with the other and it seems to mix up just fine.
