What is the name of the test that uses colored liquid to find exhaust gas in the cooling system?

Combustion leak detection. The liquid changes color from blue to light green when Carbon Dioxide (in exhaust gas) is passed through it. It tests for leaks from the vehicle's head gasket(s) or cracked engine block into the cooling system. The head gasket is the culprit in most all cases. Also, if there is exhaust gas in the cooling system, usually there will be other indications of head gasket or block failure, such as white smoke from the exhaust (coolant vaporizing in the combustion process), oil in the coolant or vice versa (is known as the "chocolate shake" where the coolant or engine oil starts to look like milk chocolate from the two mixing), and/or bubbles in the coolant reservoir while the engine is running. The Combustion Leak Detector will tell you in no time.
