None. Check the source. It can be both a fan clutch and a water pump or either. When you look down wiggle ever so slowly from one end of the play (3) o'clock and back (9) o'clock. If the play is limited to the shaft extension after the 4 mounting bolts, it is just the clutch. If you can go past seeing it move at the clutch shaft and then even more to notice a wobble at the water pump shaft then it is both. I have seen very slight amounts of water pump play last 50k miles but you have to stay on top of it. If you get under the car and look up at the seal drain hole and see ANY signs of leaking, you need to replace the water pump if it exhibits any play at all. Contrastingly, If the is play in the clutch, it should be replaced right away. They have no set trend and can fail catastophically at any time.
