mine did too and then some!! haha. I couldn't tell where I was leaking ps fluid so I just kept filling it up and checking the rack and the hoses. then I slipt my hand underneath the pump and felt it was all wet and had been leaking on the alt for who knows how long!!

I tried to dry up what I could see with paper towel but I thought it was toasted. 3 months later it's still going strong lol

For the OP, read this thread. #1 killer of alternators is the power steering pump. Must leaks come from over tightening of the hoses and crushing the .70 cent O ring.
