yes you can used dyes for antifreeze leaks see www.naradmarketing.com they have the strongest and best dyes available in the market at a fraction of the cost.
---- No, you don't have to. Antifreeze / coolant has a UV dye already in it (unless it is "GM dexcool", then you would have to buy a dye and put it in your radiator) . Get a "black light bulb" and put it in your shop light and look around your hoses.
They make special flashlights with UV bulbs, etc, but just go to the hardware store or Walmart and get a bulb.

Consult an underground leak detection service that specializes in pool leaks. They may be able to fix with out tearing up the deck. Or, you can grab a kit.

How do you put water in a 1993 Honda Accord LX?
You want to put water in it when it has not been running or hot AT ALL. First, you want to check the overfill to see if there is any water in there. Then you want to twist the lid off on the top of the radiator located in the middle of the car and pour water in there. You want to use mostly coolant/antifreeze during the winter, you can use more of a water mix during the summer, but if you use solely water, you want to flush and use coolant only for the winter. You may also want to check for leaks after filling the radiator...look under the drivers side for water pump leaks, and check where you were parked.
