oil dye question

Hey does anybody know how much dye is needed in our engines to be able to actually see a leak? I put one ounce in, which is all I had, and its not very bright. Look into the oil fill tube, and wow, its bright yellow in there!.
Thanks,
Tim

That should be enough. Use a UV (black) light to really light it up.
