Remove your exhaust manifold and your upper and lower plenum and have a look at your head and how it connects to the block.

There are drips..., just look a little further back like under the doors. You could have a bad rear main seal and if that's it you'll be smoking the clutch also, because it will be oil coated.

The dye won't do you any good unless you clean all of the oil from the engine as best as possible and then maybe. But chances are it
lt'll light up like a rave anyway.

Do you find yourself overheating?
Check the underside of your oil fill cap and see if there is like a white milky residue. If there is your'e about to blow a head gasket.

I had all of the symptoms you are talking about for weeks before mine finally blew out.
