Re: [DML] Alternator Leaking

["thebrave65" <johnnysher1@xxxxxxx>]

Wow, it's hard to believe that I might be able to forgo this 
replacement!  (For a while).  I guarantee that it's not my valve 
covers.  There is nothing dripping on top or on the back of the 
alternater.  It is definately coming from inside the casing of the 
alt and nowhere else.

I live in AZ and last Friday was over 110F.  I drove it that day so 
it wouldn't surprise me if something melted.

Consider it added to my to do list.  Maybe after October!

> my alternator (the motorola) has congealed goo under it too... It's 
been that way for at least three years and I haven't felt enough need 
to drop the cash on the brutish 150. I desire that big'un, but I 
haven't made the purchase yet. No failure, no purchase. Unfortunately.

me. It's rather sticky. I've thought it might be the stuff/insulation 
they use to seal around the wrappings melting out.
