corrected, I wonder if it was possible to make it worse than what it
is in my 97sl2. My altenator is located between the firewall and the
engine, right beneath the power stearing pump, son when the pump seal
fails again, they can get a two-fer out of this repair again. Seal
fails, leaks all over the altenator, altenator fails and wow that was
a nice bill.
