Yes, if it is the bearing from the sprocket,
the mechanic has to open the engine in the middle ( remove the
cylinders..etc.)

You should go in the next time!
Because of the margin -if it is big-, you could damage some other
things in your gearbox.
If you had very bad luck, you could get some broken pieces from the
bearing between the gearwheels.
What is about the sealing ring, doesn´t it loose oil, when your @
stands on the side-stand?
I think, if the bearring is really damaged, there is no reason to
wait.
The cost of repairs will not go less.
I had the same problem with my RD 04 at ~70000 km, -no rumbling
noise, but big clearence
and loosing oil.
The chain-tension was only once to strong (a mechanic did that!).
I removed the engine, and gave it to an Honda-dealer.
He changed the bearings of the axle and by the way the piston-rings.
I had to pay ~330,- EUR.
I hope for you, that it is not that bearing
