I've seen this thread about 100 times. It always ends the same. Expensive.

most liekly you got some coolant where you weren't suppose to. Possibly in the Opti. Did you spill a gallon or so of coolant?

If so, remove as much superficial moisture as you can let it bake out a bit for a day or in the sun or if in a garage with the hood open. It should be fine in a couple of days. Good luck.
