You have to jack up at least the side you are taking off

Nothing. Unless there is an actual problem

If you blew something it wouldn't be a small amount, and you'd notice it in ways other than a little grease.

I really don't have the cash for a new alt right now.
mine sits at 12 sometimes also. Don't worry about it till i drops down till like 10, then you know its screwed. You can try cleaning the battery terminals - you prob just have a poor connection

I'm sure you've tried this but can you download the iso for the disk from their support site?

You can also install the os from XP or win 7 install disk if you have a copy lying around you don't necessarily need the sony recovery disk.
X2, your best bet is to pick up a copy of Windows and format and install. Even if you do find a recovery disk the Sony ones are horrible and install tons of un-needed software. If you need any help I'd be happy to walk you through it all. You can go to Sony's website and search for all the drivers you'll need by the model number. I'd download them all ahead of time and save them to a thumb drive.

So a litttle squirt on the tire is nothing to worry about?

I personally would completely dismantle the axle and send each component out to a forensic lab to try and identify where the grease came from, then inspect that specific area under great scrutiny using an electron microscope to see if there was an actual problem.

Hey, either you have a problem, or peace of mind....right?

I like where your head's at. He should be sure he sends the tire too, just to be safe.
