FAN CLUTCH for SURE????
Okay, How can I be 100% sure my fan clutch is good or bad?
When I cold start it the fan starts out already making noise as if I had driven it on a hot day. After driving it 1/2 to 3/4 miles it returns to normal.
Should this be the norm? Should it be just opposite due to the cold start?
Thanks in advance.

There shouldn't be any leakage from the clutch,
don't confuse it with a water pump leak, as both fluids can be slippery to the touch.
There should be very little to no lateral movement at the bearing
There should be no roughness when you rotate the fan manually (with engine off of course)
