^^^^ agreed, that blows. When you do replace the opti, be sure to seal it. Many don't, and a short while later a bit of water will ruin their barnd new opti.
And of course, check out and fix your water pump leak..hopefully its just a bad seal and not the housing. Wouldnt want that same leak to ruin your new opti.

I cringe at how many good optis have been thrown away from this same situation.

Did some more looking today, noticed the water pump located directly above the opti, has a leak. So I'm almost certain its the opti now. I checked for codes and nothing came up. Friday if it makes it till Friday I'm gonna do the opti swap. Its my personal first time attempting this myself so if anyone knows any good sticky's or write ups for it post up links. Thanks.

Awesome dude! Sucks that it wasn't something less expensive, but atleast you got it fixed. On the bright side, you now have a new water pump and Opti which can be crossed off the to do list.
