2.7t producing just under 12 v

[QUATTRO1869 at aol.com]

Ok, it sounds like an alternator.  I started the car and let it warm  up a 
bit.  Gauges all normal(temp still low, not fully warmed) I  headed out, and 
realized I forgot my wallet, so I returned home.  I left  the car running while I 
was just gonna be in and out.  While home, I got a  phone call and was inside 
for about 10 minutes.  I came out to my car and  got inside, instantly 
smelled a burning electrical smell.  Look down at the  volt meter is a shade under 
12v...and goes lower when I turn on lights, heater,  etc.  Anyone had this 
happen?  Sounds like an alternator to  me.  Theres about 85k on the motor.  Is it 
an easy  job?  Can I do it without pulling the nose off?
Thanks!
