    Do the dye cause any damage if not drain out after diagnosis

      Hello Vaajchang, no the dye is harmless and made specifically to be mixed with coolant. However, doing a coolant drain would probably be a good idea since you already let most of it drain after changing out the defective part. Great question and thanks for watching! 🤟

      My worries too, since I have disappearing coolant with no visible leaks, and dont want to cause more damage. I'm thinking put dye in coolant, drive vehicle as usual. Look for leaks, also remove spark plugs, flash blscklight into spark plug holes and have even ordered a $20 boroscope/Amazon, to check for head gasket leak. Maybe after all repairs, pay mechanic to also change the coolant.

      Very true Ruth. Doing a coolant flush is generally pretty cheap anyways. So might as well get some new fluid in there.

    Can i pour this before i go on a road trip cause my leak is small and im driving 4 hours away but i can just do what you did drive for a week but you think 4 hours of driving counts as a week?

    • @TrickShiftGarage

      I believe it should be fine.

      Any that's a UV light. Even the cheap ones are worth it.

      That's correct. You need something like this in GM Vehicles:
