Oil covered Alternator

Hi All,

Went for an inspection sticker today and had my nechanic look around for an oil leak that has popped up recently... He found it, but we don't know the cause , yet! The alternator is COVERED with fresh dripping oil...


I have read about an alternator brackett gasket leak on these motors...

1st - I suspect its that..
2nd - Is there anything else I should do while we are in there...

Last , I really was thinking of posting the X5 for sale this weekend as I may have found a Cayenne Turbo or GTS (2 pedal) hehe, that I am interested in...

So , I guess I wont be putting in on the block this weekend....

How long in Mechanic Hours is this fix, IF it is the Alternator Bracket gasket and whatever else should be done while I am in there....

Thanks all!
