If you can get a mirror to look at the weep hole centered under the water pump between the water pump and the opti....

Sometimes you can see if there has been evidence of seepage...

If it is till strong up through the huger RPM's your opti is probably still fine...
While most people swap them as a set. Really it is not THAT difficult to do later aside from having to pullhte water pump again to get to it...

Even with the supercharger hung on the front of mine I can do it in about 4 hours...

Hope this helps you...
