Just another thought aswell, is there any chance the belt could be slipping slightly under load due to the LHM contamination ??

also if your clever you could make it so it not only protects the altanator, but collects the citro blood and returns it to the tank

regards malcolm

Or to prevent contamination, feed it into the fuel tank

Except my hydraulic pump doesn't leak anymore.

Nope, none at all, the alternator is fine, it was the end of some of the positive feed cables in the battery clamp that were covered in verdi gris causing high resistance.
