I have a 1995 lexus sc400 with the infamous power steering pump leak. I was told that it leaks into the alternator and eventually burns it out. If this is true would the fluid leaking into the alternator cause the car to lose power at times, and make the lights dim and flicker as if the alternator is dying? i have brought my car to the dealer and they could not duplicate this problem. but when my radio is on the lights flicker and jump with the bass from the radio, and i also experience total losses of power when i am driving , but then the car wakes itself back up in 1-2 seconds. and there are times i am driving and hit the break and total power cuts of but restores when i take my foot off the brake. i am thinking this is a result of fluid leaking into the alternator. if anyone has any insight or knowledge about what i am explaining please post a reply or email me at bezee77@aol.com thanks in advance for the help cuz i have no idea whats going on and the dealer is no help!
