I have found nothing cheaper/better than a clean paper towel. Heat up the engine until the thermostat opens and the radiator fan comes on, then turn the engine off and wipe suspected areas with the paper towel. Likely suspects: pressure cap, bottom connection of the overflow bottle, right side of the radiator are the easiest to check. Followed by the heater core, firewall connectors, turbo coolant lines. Last is a compression check.

Autozone sells the dye. You need to supply the UV light.
