A little coolant spilled on alternator is it okay??

[konichiwabeezy]

Some coolant spilled on the alternator during the process of installing the alternator. Wasn't a whole lot, wiped it off dry. Is this okay? Will anything wrong happen to the alternator?? I've had PS fluid leak onto my old alternator and it was no bueno. lmk!!

Depends on your definition of "a little coolant" :)

As long as it's dry and not a whole lot got in there you should be fine. If you are still concerned, let it dry out overnight, go to your local auto parts store and pick up some auto electronics cleaner (spray can usually has a pic of an alternator on the label)... It's like no-flash... It will spray on/in there, then evaporate taking whatever crap got in there with it.

BTW a little bit of coolant is NOTHing compared to PS fluid lol
