With engine off, spin the fan by hand. If it moves then stops fairly quick
on it's own, the clutch is still good. If it spins a little then slowly
comes to a stop, it's bad. If you see what looks like an oil leak (wet
with dirt caked on) around the clutch area, it's bad. At temperature, you
should hear the fan spin at low RPMs - try goosing the throttle a little
after a hot highway trip.
