Subjunctive form in phrase

Colin W.C1Kwiziq community member

Nous avons ouvert les fenêtres de peur qu'il ________ une fuite de gaz.

I gave the answer "ne soit" but the correct answer is "n'y ait". Also in the examples there are egs of both avoir and être in the subjunctive but I don't understand what is governing the choice. Also what does the "y" signify in the answer?

This question relates to:French lesson "De peur que + ne explétif + the subjunctive mood (Le Subjonctif) = for fear that in French"
