      Don’t worry about 3:42, look at 3:52. The oil is pouring out.

    Great video on how to use the UV dye to find oil leaks!

      Thanks. This is one of my favorite things to use in diagnosing leaks. They have different dyes for AC, power steering, transmission, antifreeze, etc.

    I'm sorry if I'm watching while I have covid, good thing you're masked

      I work in a restoration shop and in February I had covid for 19 days, my coworker never got closer than 20 feet and I still caught it,I wish he had a damn mask on!

      @@dogsense3773the only thing I’ll say is you don’t know where you got it from for certain. The mask I’m trying to wear in this video did nothing. Nothing. The only mask that helped a little is a properly fitted n95, and properly fitted is the key word. But anyways I’m jealous, I would love to work in a restoration shop!

    Mechanic just put dye in my car for oil leak. He said to drive for a couple days. How long can that dye stay in the oil and still be detected?

    • @jeffwiseman0286

      Until you drain the oil.

      If you have a black light you may be able to see the lean yourself.

      O k. Thought it odd mechanic wouldn't have just let the engine run for 15 minutes, then check himself. It seems to leak even with engine long off. Had valve cover gaskets replaced. Thx

      @@jimbike8064 sometimes when leaks are small they are harder to detect. Usually in 2-3 days you can find it. Your welcome.

    Why are you wearing a mask

    • @jeffwiseman0286
      @jeffwiseman0286  9 місяців тому +8

      Because at the time of this recording schools were still mandating mask because of COVID. They made us wear these useless face diapers. I hated every minute of it.
