the dye is pretty cheap online if you buy a few boxes. dont let the kits fool you into thinking you need a certain type of uv light. I bought a flourescent uv bulb from bulbman.com or something like that, 100w should do. the dye I use is a all in one formula from tracer dye. can be used in trans, engine, coolant. etc.

I took off the valve cover and used a little goop on it and the leak stopped. she just has a little hesitation starting up but runs fine with a little lifter noise. all and all, it was worth it. oh I also sanded off the powercoating on the valve cover and its nice and shiny, I couldn't get myself to paint it some wild color. thank god.
