Any techs or mechanics on here use a specific dye for engine oil that is kubota safe to pinpoint where leaks could be potentially coming from ? Thanks :)

No but I can tell you how we track down a leak in the aviation industry. Clean (degrease until squeaky clean) the engine, or whatever part you are suspecting of a leak, then get some spray on deodorant. Start the engine, run it for a while then spray the area that is suspect. A dark line will show up where the deodorant touches oil or other fluid.
