Alternator Dying....

Alternator Dying....
I was having problem starting the car for the last few days. It would not start right away, it takes a few turns to crack it. I stoped by AUTOZONE yesterday and they checked the battary and the alternator.
While the Engine is off, Battery Voltage: 11.87V
While the Engine is Running, Battery Voltage: 11.92V
The guy at the store said, the alternator is bad. AUTOZONE has a alternator for $159.99 and lifetime warranty. Manufacturer is Hitachi and its 110V. I found a guy who would do the work and charge $75 for labour.

I am planning to get this done today evening. I also have problem with power steering pump, its leaking. Does it make it any easier to get to both of them at the same time? If they are completely unrelated jobs, I would get the PS pump done some time latter.
All you opinions are greatly appreciated.

if the above one is not a recommended option I can get one of theses two(same price).

I looked around on ORG and couldn't find a post recommending specific brands, I am gonna hold off until I hear from you guys on the PS pump.

I will try to do both at the same time. I am planning to buy the alternator from AUTOZONE(since its a Hitachi, 110V). I am look for a power steering pump and found these three options all of the are $160. The one from AUTOZONE doesn't specify the manufacturer but it does come with a lifetime warranty.

I saw the car from underneath while on the rack, there is a leak from the power steering pump area and everything below it is covered in oil. I can still ask the new mechanic to see if it’s the pump or some thing else. If its the pump I want to know which one to buy.

Double check it's not the PS hose. Generally it leaks near the top of the hose underneath the foam covering and then runs down the hose where it might give the appearance it's leaking from other places because the oil gets splattered everywhere down there.
Where the silver cover is on this hose should be black rubber foam on the OEM hose. Push it back and see if there is oil on the inside of it and on the hose.

I have a small leak and all my hoses and pump are bone dry too. It looks like my leak is from the steering rack itself. Take a look at the boots on the inner tie rods to the rack and see if they look wet especially on the bottom of the boots.
