Tracing Oil Leaks with Liqui Moly Oil
https://liquimoly.cloudimg.io/v7/htt...p%252CoriginalT
According to product literature, "this oil's florescent green color is typical for the MFC formulation."
Has anyone used this oil to trace oil leaks on air-cooled 911s? If so, I would appreciate the following information to guide tracing an oil leak in my 1972 E with a 2.7 RS engine. I am resorting to this procedure after having tried almost all known and discussed solutions/suggestions in this and other fora. The LiquiMoly site does not provide any additional Infromation beyond the above quote.

> Has anyone had success with using this oil to isolate sources of leaks?
> Does anyone recommend using the conventional additive dye-light-glasses products sold by auto parts stores?
I have had this car for over 39 years, and have been "fighting" oil leak issues on and off. I even had the case halves resurfaced and line-bored by Oiilie's in my pursuits.
