IT IS the alternator by the description you provided. Replace it according to motorvade instructions to save you some money...

Also you might want to check/replace the main drive belt while you are there

Left side of the engine. Find the belt and see if it's still on there, by what you said it sounds like the belt went.

it takes like 2 minutes to take the wheel off with the engine cover and 1 more minute to check the belt - after that if you are not satisfied then tighten the belt and get your alternator checked for free

same thing happened to me last month... my car (120,000 miles) died and when i tried to jump it, smoke was coming out of the alternator and the car wouldnt start. cost me $300 to replace it. now runs fine.
