Loose Fan on a '61 Giulietta

[abruzzi]

My 1961 Giulietta Spider Normale began making odd noises yesterday. A quick peek under the hood revealed a wobbly fan blade... not spinning in a consistent line, but wandering off axis. At the point where the fan mates to the water pump, a nice mix of coolant and oil was spewing forth. The fan did a nice job of distributing the fluid everywhere. When I shut the engine off I confirmed my observations by grabbing the fan and feeling the wobble. Not good.

I've removed the radiator to access the nut at the front of the fan, thinking that if I tighten this nut it'll tighten the fan. No luck. Not sure what to do at this point.

Any suggestions? Any help would be much appreciated.

Uhm....sounds like you need a new water pump.

Yeah, that seems to be the consensus. Thanks.
