That's not necessarily true. I thought I responded to this post already, but fix the leak and let the car sit for a day and see what happens. If it's a vented opti take the vacuum hoses off and put a shop vac up to the bottom port on the opti for a few minutes. If it's not vented you may want to go as far as to take it off, take the cap off and dry it. Would be a good time to loc-tite the rotor screws while it's apart if it hasn't been done already.
