i was just yesterday replaced my cars stat and put in a manual fan switch. well today i went to a local car show with my mom, furthest i have driven it since. when i did it i got a little on my engine that when i got there was burning off. when i got home i noticed a lot more steam coming out of my hood and when i popped it i saw that the water neck was spurting anti-freeze, about a cup i think. i think i got some strands from a rag stuck in it. i question is do you guys think that this was enough to short out my opti. it wasn't surgeing on the way home, nor were there any of that tell-tale signs of a bad opti. i am just afraid to start it up, and it is the origional opti, but it is the vented kind.

Nah, your opti should be fine, just make sure you bleed out the air from the cooling system next time.
