Hmmm, tracer dye in green gold?

[Kurt W. Deschler]

Cody,

Check around the rubber gromet where the steering knuckle connects to the
rack (inside the car). The pads under the carpet padding can soak up an
amazing amount of pentosin as it fills the drivers side floor (don't ask
how I know). I have some tips on cleaning up if you are so unfortunate.

Tracer dye for those that dont know, is this nifty oil that is used in A/C systems. It glows bright neon green under UV light, so you can trace leaks a ton easier. I dont know if the dye is compatable with pentosin or not, but if I only put maybe 5cc of it into the bottle I should see some light shed on my disapearing pentosin (not in the rack boot, already checked, fresh boot and rack too). Opinions?
