I went on vacation and just came back 2 days ago, I had my JGC 95 Limited 5.2 V8 parked for about 3 weeks while we where away and the night we came back I notice a little poddle of oil in the ground coming from the Oil pan, I had to replace the gasket. But my real problem is my battery, The battery is 7 months old and it can not hold a charge, I have top disconect the battery every time I stop teh engine if not it wont start back up.. and when it dies I jump it and starts right back up. Another thing I notice was smoke and funny smell commming out from the back of the engine at first i thought it was the oil that was burning but no it smells like burnt cables or something..
I have an appointment tommorrow in the garage for an alternator check, but teh alternator is 3 months old. so I have no idea what the problem is, if any body has any sugestions or ideas i will really appreciate them.

Thank you
