    Start by checking the engine fan relay in the engine bay. If that's OK, you can apply 12 volts directly to the engine fan and see if that works. If the fan doesn't work with 12 volts applied, the fan motor is dead.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Check for leaks as well since your always filling it up. Also see if water is flowing as it might be a stuck theromstat.

    i'd be more worried about the leak. where does it leak from? is it getting really hot onthe gauge? maybe a stuck thermostat and it's cooking and spitting it out of the overflow bottle?

    if you have A/C does the fan turn on when you turn the A/C on? check fuse and relay first (swap relay with horn relay and see what it does)
