300SE - fan pulley wobbles?
I have had an oil leak at the front of the engine for a while but when trying to diagnose my AC problem, I found that the pulley that the engine viscous fan attaches to is very wobbly. If I hold a fan blade I can rock the whole thing.
Engine doesn't overheat so can someone tell me what the pulley attaches to? I need to know if it's a part I need to replace so I can get one before I start stripping the front end down as I don't have a workshop manual.
If it's just something that has come loose, could that be the cause of an oil leak?
Apart from that, the car runs well.

Wobbly fan usally indicates water pump bearings are worn.Thats how I test used cars.
