As the title says I have a oil leak on my alternator...I'm not having any problem with the car I just want to fix the issue before it gets bigger..So do any of you guys know where the leak could possibly come from?

When I had oil leaking onto my alternator is was coming from the distributor. It can either be leaking from the Distributor O-ring which is a simple fix or it can leak through an internal seal which means you will have to replace the entire distributor.
