AFAIK there is (officially) no fan alone available as spare part. 
You will have to purchase the whole FRU comprising heat sink plus 
fan attached. I have done that for my old T40. The FRU was about 
40$ (in the bay, not at lenovo) plus thirty minutes for 
disassembling, fitting the FRU, and assembling the machine again. 
Thanks to the extraordinary good an comprehensive HMM it is an 
easy task, provides you are well organized and equipped with tiny 
tools.
