big coincidence.there is no reason that replacing an alternator would cause an inlet manifold to leak.unless one of the mounting bolts goes into the manifold,and the mechanic screwed wrong bolt,(a long one),into wrong place and thru the manifold,causing the leak. i know of this problem because it is how i learned,years ago to note which bolts went where
