With my alternator getting wet like that, if it's not charging while it's wet, is that a sign of a faulty alternator? can most "in tune" alternators withstand some water?

It usually isn't the fact of the alternator getting wet and not working, it is the belt slipping because it is wet, and the alt not turning enough to charge the battery.
