Hey guys. I got an '04 G35 sedan 6MT with ~60k mi. It started dying in the middle of the road about a month ago. Got it diagnosed...bad alternator. I got my hands greasy and replaced the alternator. But a month later the new alternator was dead, too!

Turns out an oil leak is dripping into the alternator and frying it. I had always noticed a little oil under the car but kind of ignored it. Anybody seen this before? Where was the oil coming from if it's ever happened to you? Any ideas/help much appreciated!
