Engine Fluid Leak Dye Test Benefits

By finding the fluid leak through a dye test, there is no better way of assuring the exact location of the leak to be repaired. After identifying the leak, in most cases the repair will prevent other components from failure due to fluid exposure or lack of lubrication.

The most notable result in dye testing and repair of the leak is the visual effects and damage caused by the leaks in driveways and garages. Additionally, a clean, grease-free engine or transmission will run cooler and more efficiently.
