M1009 Passenger side alternator parasitic drain.

Hello,

I am having an issue where the passenger side alternator is pulling a constant .5v from the rear battery with the ignition off. Does anyone know what could be causing this??

If I disconnect the two wires from the alt to the 24v rail the drain goes away, if i disconnect the two wire plug at the alternator it drops to .2v, if i disconnect the main power wire it drops down to .3v

This is causing the vehicle battery to die while sitting over time, I am guessing I will have to rebuild this alternator, but hoping there is an easy solution..

Any help is appreciated.
