Not to worry, google archives everything, which is why I posted a summary.
A search on google 10 years from now will turn up this post :-)

real men dont backup their documents, they post it to a newsgroup
and let the worlds newsfeeds back it up
(quote-mangled some *nix creator's words :-)

UV dye: try fluoresceine. It's used to trace rivers when they disappear
underground.
Some milligrams would be enough to color all your coolant.
It's a reddish powder coming yellow when diluted. It's cheap, I bought some,
long ago at the chemist's.

It isn't noxious so I guess there should be no problem.

I've also been told about Coumarine but I don't know about it.

The lamp to be used is a black light it may be a fake money detector, an
insect killer, or even a germicidal tube (take care this one emitts short UV
rays which are very harmful wrt eyes & skin).

Enjoy
