There are more than five of these things in the Aurora drive core. So here's a little trick to keep them mostly out of your hair:

Craft a grav trap and bring it with you to the Aurora.

Dump the sucker off the edge of the platform, into the water around the damaged core elements.

Sit and let bleeders collect in the grav trap array, then grab the thing with the propulsion cannon and quickly punt or drag it around the pool a bit so it's out of the way of your repair work.

Repeat as necessary to move the ensuing bleeder clusterfuck away from wherever you need to repair. Do not be surprised if you maybe miss one--keep a knife handy in such an event.

Once you're done, don't even bother swimming through the cloud of bleeders to collect the damn thing, just leave the trap behind, grab the ladder and go. With a little luck, you can get through the repair process completely unscathed.

Also, quick warning: there is actually a single bleeder in the water in the hallway leading from the cargo lift and locker rooms, to the drive core. Have your propulsion cannon at the ready in this area.

EDIT: It looks like bleeders from the core room can clip through the wall and floor around the adjoining hallway--so you might get a few that manage to squeeze out into the water in and around the seamoth bay. I've actually placed a grav trap in this area and had its beams grab bleeders that were inside the walls and floor, as well as behind the seamoth bay door...
