There is definitely not water coming from your alternator. It could be a hole in a coolant hose or it could be a crappy head job.

Good luck!

yeah there is no way there is water coming from the alt, unless you got the water cooled one (HA! just kidding man) but seriously, there could be a tiny hole in a coolant hose causing he water to shoot upward and hit the alternator, thats really all i can come up with without going down to the garage to look at mine. hope this helps-matt
