    You can get a dye kit from your local auto parts store.

    Correct, most complete dye kits come with a black light to see the fluorescent dye. A black light alone will only show how dirty your teeth are lol. GL

    This is very true , I have seen this a lot the after market intake most people lets it rest on these lines and after time and heat it rubs a hole. But yes a Dye in the lines and a fluorescent light is the key put the dye in and run it up the street with ac on , then come back and trace all the lines from compressor to the battery to the firewall and also shine that light in the dash vents if you see the green dye here its a bad EVAP core
