Default Squeaky radiator fan?

Since the weather got cold and the salt trucks hit the streets, I've noticed that one of the radiator fans squeaks. It's most noticeable when turning the engine off and it does a decelerating:
squeak...squeak........squeak.............squeak.. .................squeak and then stops completely. The engine is completely off when the decelerating squeaks occur and the radiator fan appears to be the culprit.

Any ideas? It's tough to see in there to lube anything.

stop driving the z in that crap? i know it's hard but i've been rocking a 95 plymouth neon for the last 3 months. Am i in Z withdrawl yes, has it saved me enough money to buy full boltons, new tires, oil cooler, and a few other things yes. Does my fan squeak now- no. you'd be suprized what extreme cold does to your car, you probably have higher oil pressure from the reduced clearances, and i'll bet as far as your fan goes the squeak is coming from the bearing because the tolerances tightened up

Yeah, not gonna happen. The Z is my all-year car and finding storage or another parking space is just not on the agenda. Fortunately there's nothing special about a Z to make it incompatible with winter. She's doing great with her winter tires. Kannibul, insert remark here... .

Out of curiosity, how did driving a 95 Plymouth and storing your Z save you enough for bolt-ons, tires, etc?
