so, a month or 2 ago i had to pull put my auxiliary fan (between radiator and engine fan shroud) because it was rattling all over the place. now i want to put it back in, but i want to know if i can just buy a nut and a washer to hold it on or am i missing some part.

here are pictures of the thing, and of the naked bolt that it was placed over.

also, i noticed that my radiator has been leaking a small amount of coolent on the TOP, on the left side (looking at the engine). could that be due to the missing fan?

Yorb, please d/l the free FSM & you'll see the diagram of an engine-driven "fan clutch" that's running off of the water pump pulley...
