Default Water pump?

I noticed today when changing oil, that I had what appeared to be oil spray in the engine compartment. At first I thought a intercooler hose was leaking. It now seems to be coming from the the water pump. I drips pretty good when the temp start rising and the rpms rise. This is my first Cummins. Just wondering what is involved in changing out the pump, or what the cost would be letting the dealership do it.

I am not sure how much the dealerhip will charge you changing it yourself should not cost more than $90. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/dodge-c...pump-leak.html

I had the dealer do it and the the entire cooling system flushed at the same time.
Thanks
