The bearing still "feels ok" but it's obviously time for it to go. With as much oil is there was in the housing it really seems like a unsealed bearing would be the way to go.
Bonus question, I searched and searched yesterday but even with all the RMS depth talk out there I can't find a picture of one that is confirmed to be at the right depth. I don't have the tool. I seated mine 2mm past the housing face.

Whose retrofit kit is leaking?
The correct PTFE install depth is 13 MM from the flywheel face of the crank hub.
