Auto trans question, leak dye rrlated

[mjeff87]

Preface:  I loathe auto trannies, but my KJ has one.  545RFE to be exact.  Its in perfect condition but has started to drip (like a dime sized spot about every 3 days or so, not bad but its bugging the hell out of me).

 

I have some leak dye that I've used in the focus engine to pinpoint oil leaks in the crankcase.  Could I use it to also trace the leak on my tranny?  My mind says it would not matter a single bit if I poured an ounce or so into the pan of the trans, but.....I just want to hear some affirmation from those smarter than me that it won't cause any problems.  Its leaking from *somewhere* on the trans body, but its dripping from the lowest point, which i know is not the source.

google seems to imply you're good to go.

I've done it before. I don't see any reason why it would hurt.

GM and Mopar both have 4 in 1 dye. Engine oil, trans, P/s,& diff if I recall correctly. So you should be good to go.

Thanks yall.  I've got this stuff, bought it from my local indy shop.  Says good for transmissions on the label, but...ya know.
