I see what appears to be water spot around the seal vent holes on the bottom of the water pump....looks like your water pump is on its way out...that results in wet opti...resulting in dead opti.

Looks like it has a green tint to it. Might just be your water pump.

Take a household cleaner like "Fantastic" (something in a spray bottle) or "Windex", and wipe the hoses down, and surrounding areas.

Run the car and gently spray around areas the you might think the leak might be. Any escaping air will cause little bubbles.
