Oil Dye?

With all the oil leaks we seem to have i was wondering if there is a place to get the oil dye the stealerships use to see where the leak is coming from? I believe it is just a black light they use to trace the dye? Has anyone done this dye test themselfs to track down their leak? Thanks for any help.

any type of black light you can move around will work, we used to just have a black light bulb in a drop cord when I was working at the dealership.
