Injection pump leaks... rebuild or replace?

Hi,
My 1991 f350 7.3 IDI injection pump seems to leak from the bottom of it.
It results as a lot of fuel on the top of the engine.

I just got the truck inspected by a mechanic who advise to replace it by a new one... expenseve solution (700$ + time).
I saw rebuilt pump for 330$ on ebay...
Or I might bring my truck to a shop for rebuild the actual pump. But I do not know how that would cost.

I circled a pump picture to show from where it is leaking.

I rather go with the cheaper/good-enough option since I have other repare to do on the truck before to hit the road for a long road-trip to Mexico, towing a 7000 lbs 5th wheel.

What sould I do : replace for new, replace for rebuilt or rebuild?

Thanks again!

Pierre
