Well I did get the alternator out. Had yo come out the bottom. Took the
electric fans off anyway to see, but the idler pulley bolt was still in
the way of getting it out the top. Had to push the radiator as far
forward as possible and then push the rubber tranny cooler lines over to
clear it just barely.
Looks like the leak may be from the oil dipstick o-ring. Nothing else is
close by. I'm going to clean that off, degrease it later and watch it.
Its in that area anyway.
Was wondering about the PCM only because the other number is still
listed as for this vehicle, just Fed emissions instead of California.
Hopefully I won't need it anyway once I get this back together, if the
original problem was the alternator.
