Murphy builds a great system for your need. The fluid in the captive system is visible in a sight glass mounted on the engine. This makes it possible to check fluids on a running machine. The sight glass is made of toughened glass. This device is also rigged with electrical contactors. If these contactors are used and wired and you were to lose your oil or your coolant you would get an alarm. This is called a pre - alarm. Pre to the low oil pressure and overheat alarms. It gives you more reaction time as by the time you actually get a low oil pressure, or overheat it may be to late.
