Alternator: degressing

I have two questions: see attached picture
1: There seems to be a leak somewhere, power steering or oil? I checked for visible signs of leaks but can't locate. I did see postings of a power steering hose leak but not sure if it is a oil leak. I have been monitoring the oil level and seems fine Has anyone had a similar issue?
2: Has anyone cleaned their alternator? with electrical cleaner spray? what kind? brand?

Thanks

You should put your year in your signature.

Anyway, did your car have the power steering recall done? You can call your local Acura dealership to find out if this was done.

Clean it off and see if it comes back. You can usually tell if it's PS fluid by the smell.

The AC compressor is under the alternator and could be leaking out the front seal.
Wipe off the alternator and keep watching closely.
