A friend of mine has a "95 Grand Prix, 3.1L. It has a slow coolant leak that I haven"t been able to locate. I called local auto parts about coolant leak tracer. He can get it, but only in a 6-pack and does not know if it is readily visible or if you need a special light to see it. Does anyone know of an off-the-shelf leak detector?
