I see a lot of Optispark problems
What would be a good life span of an opti if it was kept dry.(no water pump leaks)?
My opti has some oil on and around it from an oil leak,not sure where it's comming from yet.Would this affect it like coolant?
I am new and don't want to be stranded.just getting info.
1995 72,000 miles and runs good.Looks to have original wires,plugs ect.

Thanks

You have the GenII opti so figure about 150,000 miles. My original opti went 183,000 before it had to be replaced. A little oil seepage around it won't hurt it, assumng it is very minor.
