GPU fan failure

Today while cleaning my computer from dust I noticed some residue around one of my MSI gpu fans. I am certain it is oil from the fan bearing. I do still have the warranty but how dangerous is this? Can it last until summer when the new R9 300 series comes out? It does not sound any louder then it usually  does, at least not yet. The issue with the warranty is that it will most likely take up to a month and I have no other GPU to replace it with.
