mine is curently doing the same thing. The problem is with the regulator on the alternator. It is an easy replace job, but you might consider replacing / refurbishing the unit.
in my case the cause is the power steering pump leaking oil all through the alternator which is directly above it. check to see if this is the case with your vehicle and of cause, repair that problem before seeing to the alt.

Hello ... I have the same issue. power steer pump is apparently a f**k expensive part too. I have it leaking out of the pipe at the rear of the pump ... might see if good old plumbers tape will hold it bay for a short while. It's only dripping occasionally ... did a degreaser to check ... it's dripping straight onto the alternator ... and I get the odd time the battery light comes on ... goes after a rev. The alternator gets full of p/s fluid and stuffs it up.
