So I had a leak in my power steering pump and all the fluid was leaking on/near my serpentine belt and my alternator (Acura tsx 2006). I changed the seals on my ps pump and it stopped leaking. Now I'm driving home yesterday and all my dashboard lights start flashing and then everthing just died and I come to a complete stop.

I went home cleaned the serpentine belt with degreeser, charged my battery and left it running with high beams on for about 30 minutes. Everything looked great. My charger has Alternator Check on it - so with the car running it told me that ALTERNATOR IS GOOD.

Then I started driving on a road - after about 15-20 minutes I noticed the CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM light and then everything went berserk and car died again. Tried to jump start it and did successfully - but once I took the cable off my battery it would died again - after about 3 tries - I was able to get it running and drive it to a safe place.
