opti problems ight guys i just installed my new opti (acdelco) after installing it i went for a ride and drove it for a lil while not beating on it just cruising, went home and came back out 2hrs later and now my car wont start, but i noticed my waterpump is leaking a lil through the peep hole does anyone know if that would through out my opti in 2 hrs, its leaking straight in the middle of the opti not getting on any wires or nothing so could there be a good chance i got a defective opti, an i had bought the opti from superparts an acdelco distrib.

Depends on the year car you have and how much coolant was coming out, but liquid + opti = NOT happy thoughts. Very possible your pump killed your new opti >_>
It's weep hole btw lol

I am having the same problem more or less, replaced opti but no leak. It won't start, turns, but won't start. Let me know if you figure/find out what's wrong with your car.
