UV dye revealed a seep I'd missed for weeks

Tightened one bolt and it's dry.

Check the other bolts in that area too. UV dye can miss slow seeps that don't glow bright. I found a leak once that came back after just tightening one bolt. The problem might be a bad gasket or cracked seal. Quick fixes like that rarely last long.

UV dye can miss slow seeps? I always thought it was foolproof.

Yeah, I read that UV dye can miss slow seeps if they're not big enough to glow.
