Interesting. Thanks for the info. I read a lot about UV dyes and it appears that dye-lite was designed to work in ac systems, and systems using engine coolant with antifreeze, so I'm sure there shouldn't be any issue with it.

The only thing left to be concerned with is the color of the coolant. I think I may have to go with antifreeze, since it prevents corrosion and doesnt appear to have a buildup issue.

Before I do that though, I'm thinking of trying a heavy acohol +distilled water mix first. Too bad I suck at chemistry, or I might know what the outcome of trying something like that would be.
