After having already had one alternator blow i decided it was time to sort the mess.
Everything was done by the book, i made sure after the old gasket was taken off that it was cleaned meticulously so that there was no residue.
I also made sure that i put a bead of gasket sealant in the corners to help seal things tight.I used new hex head screws bought from Kelsport and made sure that they were all tightened evenly, working my way slowly round them doing a bit each time but also making sure they were not over tightened.
Everything was fine until this morning when there is a tell tale drip of oil on my drive.
I looked in the engine bay and sure enough the leak is there again ](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall"){kind=small}
I am not sure what i have done wrong and am resigned to the fact that the car will ALWAYS leak oil from this area.
I suppose it is only a matter of time before i will be buying ANOTHER alternator to replace this one when it fries! 
Unless of course anyone can point out what i have done wrong or if there is anything else i can do different to prevent this.
