I searched it on google and there are all kinds of different dyes to choose from.

Awesome man, THANKS!! If it's a darn head gasket I think I'm gonna just wait until winter and pull everything apart, I was thinking about ditching the GT-40's for the AFR 165's anyway! Then I could also take my time and maybe gasket match the Cobra intake.

Any smoke out the tail pipes?

No smoke that's really visible.

Don't forget about the heater core. Those leaks can definately go unnoticed. Pull up your carpet under the HVAC system to see if its soggy. Thats how I found mine.

I had cross contamination at 65K (seperate issue). Gasket change fixed it, even though I couldn't visually see any signs of gasket failure after looking at them once I took them out.
