Leaky Clutch Fan

Ok so I go to put my truck back together and the viscous fan was laying flat on a piece of plywood outside in the sun and when I picked it up I noticed this clear thick liquid had oozed out of it... Maybe like a teaspoon full. Do I go ahead and use it? or should I not take a chance and try to find another one? Anyone else have this happen before?

WAIT ! Don't throw it out !


I hear that's what former President Regan used in his hair ! That could be worth some money for those trying to achieve the same look ....


I call an ebay listing...

Pick up a new clutch fan assembly. I used one from a 2nd gen on my 89 Non-IC motor with no problems.
