does the alternator cooling fan on the pully end suck air in or blow air out of the alternator cause im worried about oil leeks getting into the alternator, ive just had one go after i week of fitting (from scrapyard) cause my original one packed up recently, im now on my third in two weeks from scrappy again but seems ok the last one sounded like the bearings had gone with all the noise coming from under the bonnet

Alternator cooling fan on this model sucks air in from the rear of the unit and exits by drive pulley.

cheers,should be less chance of oil contamination then cause my leaks are from the rocker box and pulley end seals and gaskets
