I have the same problem, Car looses power when driving, the radio shuts off then it dies. I have replaced the battery and battery cables. Replaced the alternater 3 times in less than one month. I have also checked all the fuses, including the alternater fuse and they are ok. I also have the oil leaking into the alternator problem as well (however, i have just put a new alt on it, that is oil free and still can not get the car to run without dying.
I have had the exact problem. I've changed altenator 3 times also and it has the same leak, but I've changed altenator an batterys over 2 year span. It just happend to me today after not driving it for 5 months. It's been in storage while I was away. Drive it fine for 2 days but today the radio kept shutting off and finally the car died right in the middle of the road. Bought a new battery because I had a warranty on last battery, but bought it just to get it home and in the driveway. Did you ever find out what was wrong with it?
Ck the alternator cable from alternator to battery...also ck maxi fuse...
