Casioqv,
Based on your advice I pulled the cowl cover and cleaned out the leaves and debris. I also removed the "fan collar": the plastic piece that is sealed to the intake for the fan. This piece has 20+ year old sealant bonding it to the cowl, of which some of it was cracked and chipping off. I removed the old sealant from the collar and the cowl, and used RTV in its place. With everything reassembled I hope to install a new fan and not another for a long time!
Thanks for your help, Jim
