Replacing a fan at a suitable existing fan location uses a different setup from adding a fan where one is not installed.

For example, Kohler lists different possible causes for water at a kitchen spout base while running and after it is off; Delta describes connection issues for a specific two-handle widespread model leaking below the sink. These are possibilities for the described products and symptoms, not a diagnosis from a photo.
