Do you own a 1986 and beyond Lexus LS400 or SC400?, If yes, then always carry out routine diagnosis on your car for any power steering seal leak. If there is any leak, please replace the seal immediately or you may end up replacing both the power steering pump as well as the alternator. The reason is that the alternator is positioned right below the power steering pump and leaking of the power steering fluid on the alternator due to a defective seal will cause the alternator to go bad.
