I have another leak. I can call the leak guys and they will find it for $300. I would like to try to do it myself first. If the leak is in a pipe I will need them, but I have old tile and an old skimmer and I would like to use the dye test there and see if I can find any leaks. Is there a good youtube video, or any online instruction, or can someone here tell me basically how to do the dye test, or any other test I can do myself?

There are quite a few videos on youtube. Just search. Food coloring works just fine but not as well as the purpose-made dyes. You'll need a syringe to put the dye/coloring in. If you're testing in the skimmer or return areas, make sure the pump is off when testing so you can see the dye getting sucked into the leak.
Thanks for the info. I found lots of stuff on youtube, just like you said. I should have checked there before asking here.
