It's dark out or I'd go pop the hood & look Dan ;
In any case : EINGINE OFF , pop the hood and grab the alternator's fan , try to turn it ~ if it takes a mighty heave and squeaks as you force it to turn , it's prolly O.K. , replace the voltage regulator with the BOSCH brand one and it'll charge like a mad thing .
If , OTOH , the fan pulley turns with minimal effort , go get a new belt , install it and use the star bolt tensioner to make it tight enough to squeak before snugging down the various pinch bolts .
If everything under the hood is soaking with oil , take the time to de -grease it well as oily pulleys don't grip well .
