Yes, without a doubt there is a problem with the unit and Keystone should be embarrassed to let this go on after knowing about it in '18 or earlier.

Doubtful they will ever drip enough to warrant draining the pan as its literally just a few drips. Unfortunately, the oil is very toxic to the slide roof membrane and will bubble it in a short time with just a drop or two of oil. Keep an eye on that replacement motor/gearbox as I would think they are the exact same part number as used on all cable driven slides of all Montanas. (I would bet across most of the Keystone line.)
