Coolant dye with a blacklight..where to get dye?

The mechanic shop still couldnt find where my leak was coming from with a radiator pressure tester...he told me about the dye you can put in there and then use a blacklight...anyone know where I can get this stuff from/how much it is?

Yea you can either go to Pepboys or Auto Zone. I had an oil leak that I could not figure out where it was coming from so I got the dye and the light and it worked out great. You will also need the special glasses in order to see the dye.

Would you still need the glasses to see the dye in coolant, or would that only be necessary for oil?
