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.
UV (Ultra Violet) Detection Dye. You will also need a UV black light and special glasses to detect leaks when you use this dye.
The easiest way is to add freon and an oil with a dye additive and use a florescent light and yellow goggles to pinpoint the leak/leaks........
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. There are kits nowadays that you can use to find and stop leaks. Also, you can use a dye test! What you do is get a dye syringe and the dye will actually lead you to the leak by "leaking" into the hole. Then you can fix it with vinyl putty! And, VIOLA, it's fixed!!!!

A check for leaks in anesthetic machines are done just prior to each use and at regularly scheduled intervals. A diagnostic routine is ran using the machine's built in software to determine if any leaks exist.

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.
Most lawn mowers are air cooled, and do not HAVE a radiator (so no antifreeze). If you have a mower with a radiator, you will need to check with the manufacturer to see what they recommend.
