AutoZone has a deal where you get a UV flashlight, two bottles of dye, and some magic goggles all for about $20. I'll tell you, I was a little surprised when I put the flashlight on the puddle of oil under my transmission and it glowed in the dark after having put the dye in my engine oil. I was then able to trace the leak to its source. The leak trail was so small and hard to detect that you really couldn't see it without the dye.
