New fans were ridiculously expensive and almost nonexistent (it was 1992 and apparently the parts supply had run out). Did you also run into any issues with the oil pressure sending unit on the back (firewall) side of the engine block? Mine leaked and made it smoke embarrasingly at stoplights until I was able to replace it.
Parts support has picked up quite a bit since the recent resurgence of interest in older 911s. I don't really have any leaks currently, especially from the oil sender unit(triangle of death), but it's only a matter of time.

No offense taken. Thin arms/hands are invaluable during car work, especially on the 911.
