what the hell
the fan clutch is a viscous sealed unit. it has fluid inside that locks up as it gets hotter, locking the fan. yes, when the fan clutch goes it seizes. as you figured out, the belt slips when the locked fan gets up to speed.
you shouldn't be spraying anything into it to get it to 'free up.'
all you need to do is get another clutch unit and replace it.
it takes maybe thirty minutes to get it done and the unit is cheap. maybe 50 bucks from autozone.
