    Technician A is correct

    Explanation:

    The best approach to solve the problem is that of technician A. using a fluorescent die is the easiest and most efficient way to trace leaks with unknown sources. The fluorescent die will simply illuminate the path to the leaking spot in the engine of the car, without any need for much speculations. This makes this method a sure approach.

    However, Technician B's approach still has a lot of assumptions factored into the methodology, and would not work properly. It will still require the painstaking attempts trying to make guesses where the oil leak is coming from, which will lead to wastage of time and energy.

    This makes Technician A have the right approach to solving the problem
