Is there a known problem with leaking power steering pump destroying alternator?
Yes. We heard about it severel times in recent months. Apparently, leaking power steering fluid from the faulty pump can drop on and into the alternator, located right under the pump, and damage it by creating an electrical short inside. It pays to check the steering pump for leaks and repair it quickly before serious damage is caused to the alternator. Power-steering re-seal kit is available.
