Ps Pump And Vsc Handshake?

[Dan in NC]

Got a '98 LS....250+K miles. PS Pump finally leaking some

down onto the Alt. (which is new....and how we found out about PS fluid leak)

Advised to get that pump chgd asap.

Any suggestions on the best aftermarket PS Pump...best guess on price and reliability?

And...possibly related....

Lately....VSC warning lite came on... after stopping for gas on a hot long drive.

Advance Auto Parts next door....so I run over and have alt chkd. No charging!

In middle of making arrangements for another alt replcmnt....lite goes off....chk chg'g

and now the alt is charging good.

Thoughts? Thanks!

just guessing, but the leaking PSP could be keeping the Alt from charging properly... change the pump 1st
