I had the pump, not to be confused with the fan motor, replaced at the factory-- about $900. Call Mike Burkette for an estimate. The pump on the engine and the fan motor are traditional weak links in our coaches. Minor seepage around the motor is not unusual-- have tried to reach it from the hatch under the bed and from below -- had to go in from the back and remove a whole bunch of stuff -not hard, but aggravating and dirty.
if it is just a minor leak it's worth letting the factory have a shot at it-- little skinny guy with 9 foot arms goes in from underneath
you didn't say what the exact problem was so I am assumming minor seepage/leak
My take on this: It's such a pain to get in there it is worth replacing all the components and seals. Bite the bullet and do it right.
I think the engine driven pump and the hydraulic fan motor leaks are Bluebird's way of being sure everything has a light coat of oil so it won't rust :>)
