Viscous Fan cap leak.

Viscous Fan cap leak.
Hey guys.
I have noticed that my fan fluid is leaking from the cap when she start reving high and heating up. There is no gasket or grommet on the fan cap. Was there one from the factory?? Any tips on sealing?

Thanks mate. I appreciate that you took the time to check for me.
It's difinately coming out if the cap when it start pumping. The rubber center appears to be in good shape. I may look into servicing the whole unit. Maybe there is a blockage causing it to build too much pressure and forcing it out the cap.

Yeah, no problem! I still haven't got much experience with these yet, but at least here in the US Celsiors are pretty rare so I can understand how it might be hard to get that kind of information. Yamae seems to have quite a bit of knowledge on the second gen cars, and I believe he said problems with this system are fairly rare. If you do end up moving to an electric fan that'd probably eliminate the problem along with the source haha.

So I solved the issue of the leak. I just cut a rubber washer and sat it under the original rubber seal to make it thicker and there is no more leak. Maybe the part on mine was not originally of this car.
