      Use a different highlighter colour per fluid type so you know what your leak is in future because that shit is never coming out of your systems once you put it in them.

    I followed the same steps as presented in the video. The liquid would not mix with the steering fluid. It made tiny particals in the steering fluid. Also, steering fluid is dark colored and covers up the Fluorescent Properties of the yellow Liquid Extracted from the markers. Your method may work for some people but it failed to work in my Chevy Impala. My Chevy dealer charged me over $700 to replace the pump.

    Why not cut the cartridge into small pieces, put them in the bottle and let them soak overnight. This way, I think, you will get way more concentrated liquid.

      Depending on how watered down your antifreeze is, yes you can add fluorescent dye to the antifreeze. Manufactures already include fluorescent dye in the antifreeze so you're able to track down a leak easier.

      Thanks for replying 👍
      I just thought that the transmission/engine dyes had been specially formulated so not to damage any seals etc and using the wrong type of dye with certain chemicals in it may damage a lot of things .
      I live in New Zealand and it's so expensive for transmission dye ,like 160 plus for a tiny tiny bottle .I was so disappointed:(
      I thought it was going to be a cheap visit to the auto store and I'd be away laughing but ah no ...It's way to expensive.
      I'm willing to try this on my power steering if there's no damage using this clever and cheap method 👍
