Oh sh!t moment

I snapped my belt today. Car shot up in temperature. Fan doesnt work anymore and my radiator fluid got completely drained. I walked to auto zone and put a new belt on my car and filled the radiator up with water. Any ideas on what else needs to be checked and how to fix the radiator fan?

Might as well just replace the fan

It will take less than an hour to remove the old one and install the new one. Like fluffy said, you might as well just get a new one. Then you will not be constantly worrying about it all the time.

check all the pullys. if one is seized then that causes the belt to snap.

Car is running. Just leaking anti-freeze. Trying a radiator sealant for now. Gonna go price some better radiators.
