The warranty ran out in January.
It may be worth contacting RE directly, through the dealer, with a carefully and friendly worded story of your woes with your beloved 650 and pledging allegiance to the brand, to see if they may offer to cover some (or all) of the repair costs, if it is a blown gasket.
I did that years ago on a Honda CB1000 that had blown an exhaust valve just a few months out of warranty and Honda came through for me, paying the lion's share of the bill. Having the dealer back up your request is most helpful too.
