Pneumatic (air system) leak detection

Has anyone found a leak dye compatible with the air brake/hwh pneumatic system?
And how it would be induced into the system?

Would really speed up finding small leaks through out the system

You would have to find a way to isolate the air dryer. Not a good plan.

How about injecting it at the wet tank drain? The air is not recirculated is it?
