How old is the Optima? They have a good replacement policy. Also, if you let an Optima go flat, ever, don't expect it to hold a charge ever again. That happened to my Optima and they replaced it free of charge.

As for the rest of it, that sucks. Good luck man.

thanks bro. the optima was 4yrs old. it was time already. just didnt feel like dishing optima type $$, lol

if you are somewhat handy with a wrench, #2 and #3 should be a pretty easy job provided the oil pan removal doesn't require you to lift the engine...

i thought it was the oil pan but it just seemed like it. i put it on the lift and cleaned it all up. turns out to be the front seal, but the front seal comes with the hub.

really? I let my red top go completely dead once before, put a new alternator on the car, jump started it and it has cranked perfectly fine ever since.
