Power supply fan dead

The exhaust fan from my Enermax power supply (430w I believe) died. However, the intake fan still works. I was wondering if I should buy a new power supply or try to fix the current one or just leaving it as is (it still works, just no exhaust). I've never opened a power supply before, but I heard it could be very dangerous since power supplies hold a lot of voltage. Does anyone know what type of connectors the fans in the power supply use (3 or 4 pin?)? Thanks.
 
You can easily replace the PS fan, Ive done several. Unplug it from the wall, then hit the power switch on the comp like you were turning it on, that should discharge any caps in the ps. Then wait 20 mins or so (purely as a precaution). Then you just take it apart. The fan connector could be anything, sometimes plugs, sometimes directly soldered.
