I'm flattered haha. I only cleaned what I could reach with a shop towel! It does look good though. I'm gonna get around all the nooks and crannies this weekend. I haven't found the cause yet, but I've cleaned up the oil nicely so finding the source should be easy if it continues to leak.

Also, what headlight is on your car in your profile picture? Looks nice.

Obviously, you would want to try to identify the kind of oil it is before adding dye.
Interesting. I'll put that on my list of things to try.
