Once you fix the leak, degrease the alternator with some light solvent, don’t worry about getting it perfect it should burn off and don’t start the car with solvent or degreaser blow air to dry it

As for the radiator if it’s not leaking you are fine. When rads leak that’s the only time you replace them
I found the major oil leak area, it was my front crankshaft seal. A wad of belt shred was in it! I ended up replacing it myself 3 days ago. I let the gasket maker cure for a day then filled it- it’s still holding so far. Had a leak near my PCV valve and corner of my valve cover, fixed those too!

Had everything nicely together last night. Until I put the fan back on and wedged it into the rim area of the radiator, I think I might have broken it. I posted a question about that and the engine not starting tonight! 😔
