Default Where is the ground strap in engine compartment 996 tt ?

Does anyone have a specific explanation of the ground strap to chassis location under the frame in the engine compartment? Pics? I have a 2003 966 tt and are crossing all my t's and dotting all my i's. Have an issue with my voltage. Start the car and voltage is about 12v and slowly drops and suddenly gage goes to about 13.8v for a few seconds intermittently and after 20 minutes of driving car dies. Battery indicator comes on. Battery holds charge just fine. By the way, all of this happened after having an oil change. Please help with any suggestions. Thanks !

I forgot to add that I read some posts that talked about electrical connections before removing alternator.
