UV oil Leak Detector Kit?

My 1994 Mercedes E320 wagon has this nagging oil leak somewhere which resulted in burning oil and smoke. I am researching for a better system of detecting oil leaks, transmission fluid leaks, a/c leaks, fuel leaks, and power steering fluid leaks. I am curious about it because I never seen or heard of this before.

I came across this engine oil leak detector which supposedly does a better job of detecting engine oil leaks, transmission fluid leaks, fuel leaks, a/c leaks, and power steering fluid leaks rather than by seeing with the naked eye to spot oil leaks. Does this leak detector really works?

Have anyone tried this leak detector and does the number of LED lights matter? Some have 6 led lights, others have 28 LED lights. The more LED lights, the better, or doesn't matter?


Here are a few of websites I found that interests me:


LED Flash Light+Safety Glasses+UV Leak Detector HVAC A/C Fluid Gas Detection Kit | eBay

Fluorescent Engine Leak Detection Dye 4 IN 1 | eBay

A/C Pro C Pro / 1 oz. engine and transmission dye 374 - Read 1 Reviews on A/C Pro #374


The dyes listed seemed very expensive for 1 oz bottle.

Does these leak detection kit have some kind of instructions/manual listed on the product?

Anyone care to comment and/or share their experiences with UV oil Leak Detector and dyes?

Just finished putting the oil dye in the oil crankcase and run the motor.

I posted a new subject matter regarding smelling oil burning and seeing smoke along with leaking oil to start fresh since the issue in this post of the UV oil Leak Detector Kit is over and done with.

New post title is "Smoking, burning, and leaking oil behind and under the rear motor issues with pictures" Thanks for reading and comments to all.
