My bigger concern is that the OEM opti got nailed...

@ilmvette - a few pointed questions:

1. Is it the original Opti? Do you know the age?
2. Mileage?
3. Did you have any issues with PS when this occured?

If you answered YES to #3, then it might not be a bad idea to replace it all. Also inspect the radiator; they are prone to busting a seam when they overheat.


Andy - what would make you thing that? The OP never said anything about problems with engine, just that he noticed coolant under the car. That's a lot of replacing for a leaking hose or even a leaking factory radiator. Happens all the time. I feel these optis are much better than we give them credit for. I had a ton of coolant all over mine and it was still working after 150k miles. Just sayin'

Edit - Ok... I missed the part about him saying it could be coming from near a pulley. But still I'd eliminate everythign else before pulling the opti amd water pump for giggles.
