  • Your trigger is on which object? I wonder how your can get an Opportunity and Account from same Map. BTW, the relation should opl.Opportunity.Account if you have retrieved it in your SOQL query

    Since you are already having the Opportunity object just get Account details from that.i.e. Source__c=op.Account.Source__c and same for any other Account fields

Trigger.newMap will return a Map of triggered object with the new changes. So if you are writing the trigger on Opportunity, it will return a map of IDs to the new versions of the Opportunity records.
So after getting the Opportunity object from the Map, you are capable of retrieving it's parent with the existing relationships like below.

Account acc = op.Account;

Have a look at Trigger Context variables and note that,

this map is only available in before update, after insert, and after update triggers.

NOTE: Even though this is not directly relate to the question follow the best practices specially when writing triggers so that your trigger support bulk records and not hitting governor limits.
