Maybe also check your Alternator fluid in case it's low.

Assuming the car is a 1G, the alternator fluid passes through the flamidation valve between the reservoir and the alternator. If there is something causing a flow restriction in the flamidation valve, the alternator could be getting starved of fluid.

Alternator fluid? What is that........
Usually I just spray some wd-40 on it or else tighten it.

Yup, just like how you need to check the water in your battery. You need to check the alternator too.
