Dying Clutch Fan?
I have light oil dripping under the engine front, it's also sprayed around the front under-hood. I've twice had a momentary grinding sound like a failing bearing. I'm thinking its either the clutch fan or the water pump?
Thanks in advance for any advice. I'll be towing the 5'er home to Montana next week.

Grab the fan and inspect it for play and freedom of movement. You should have some resistance when trying to spin it, however it should be a fluid type resistance with no hard or soft spots. If there is any play in the bearings then it is junk.
