A month later, can smell antifreeze. Could see wet all over but not where from. Added this dye, ran it for 20mins, could see the leaks immediately. Both passenger side upper rad hose, and a smaller leak from driver's side lower rad hose. Needed a UV/blacklight to see, as expected. Will buy again if needed. 5***** Review: Worked perfect - Well sealed bottle in the box. Nice and bright blue under a UV light. Will be grabbing another bottle after repairs are completed to verify we got all of the leaks. Update 3/11/25 Ordered second bottle, yep, missing it's cap and the foil was punctured like other people complained about so I guess you have a 50/50 shot of getting something that's actually usable. ## Features - Designed to quickly pinpoint leaks in cooling systems that use DEX-COOL (orange) coolants - Special formula will not change the color of the coolant - Fluorescent dye assists with visual leak detection to eliminate guess work - Works in conjunction with the ACDelco Ultra Violet (UV) Leak Detection Lamp Kit ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008I2VKNI | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,541 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #1 in Automotive AC Leak Detection Tools | | Brand | ACDelco | | Brand Name | ACDelco | | Color | Colorless | | Colour | Colorless | | Compatible Material | Metal | | Compatible material | Metal | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 328 Reviews | | Included Components | Leak Detection Tracer Dye | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Type Name | Leak Detection Tracer Dye | | Item Weight | 1 Ounces | | Item form | Liquid | | Item weight | 1 Ounces | | Manufacturer | ACDelco | | Manufacturer Part Number | 10-5046 | | Model Number | 1149328 | | Number of Items | 1 | | UPC | 707773856260 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ACDelco - **Colour:** Colorless - **Compatible material:** Metal - **Item form:** Liquid - **Item weight:** 1 Ounces ## Images ![1149328 GM Original Equipment 10-5046 Dex-Cool Leak Detection Tracer Dye - 1 oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51OBSUCAbfL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Should I flush my engine oil before switching from conventional to synthetic oil or vice versa?** A: No, it is not necessary to flush your engine when switching between motor oils. Typically, conducting a routine oil change and replacing the conventional oil with a synthetic motor oil will not require any additional maintenance. **Q: Do I need a special oil filter for a synthetic oil?** A: No, synthetic motor oil does not require you use a special filter. Oil filters are used based on vehicle specifications. Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for guidance on what type of oil filter to use. **Q: Is there a way to tell if my engine oil needs to be changed or is running low?** A: Yes, if equipped, your vehicle’s oil life monitoring system will inform you when your motor oil needs to be changed. Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more specific guidelines. **Q: Does my transmission fluid need to be changed as regularly as my oil?** A: No, typically, transmission fluid lasts much longer than most engine oils. Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual to identify how often and when your transmission fluid should be changed. Severe usage and regular usage descriptions are provided. **Q: Is there a difference between power steering fluid and transmission fluid?** A: Yes, there is a difference. There are many types of transmission fluid. GM Genuine Parts and ACDelco recommend referring to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for fluid recommendations for all vehicle systems. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked perfectly *by D***W on 30 November 2024* Just replaced the radiator on a 2015 Buick Enclave.

I waited until it was starting to get dark outside then used a blacklight that I ordered from Amazon and shined all over the cooling system. I was able to find the coolant leak easily with this dye and the blacklight. You can not see it without using a blacklight. ## Frequently Bought Together - ACDelco 1149328 GM Original Equipment 10-5046 Dex-Cool Leak Detection Tracer Dye - 1 oz - REALHUNLEE Auto Air Conditioner Leak Detector Tool Flashlight Oil AC UV Dye Leak Test Detection Kit Pro 68 LED Flashlight with UV Protective Glasses - Interdynamics 374CS Certified A/C Pro Oil and Fuel Systems UV Dye --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/287312127-1149328-gm-original-equipment-10-5046-dex-cool-leak-detection](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/287312127-1149328-gm-original-equipment-10-5046-dex-cool-leak-detection) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-25*
