I'm having the same problem. The sound seems to come from the area where the pulleys from the X, Y, and Y Axis motor belt are together...
Is there a way to know if the bearing has a problem, and if so. Is there any place where I can go see how to replace it?

Take a close look at the belts and see if any of them are riding up on the side of their pulleys.
Put some sideways pressure on the head, if the sound goes away then it could be that one of the bearings in the head is shot.
Put your finger on the fans and/or fan shroud, could be something vibrating there.
Could also be crud stuck between the pulley on one of the motor shafts and the side of the printer.
Could be a bad bearing on one of the main rods.
That's what popped into my tired head for right now. And what pops into my head now is, why the hell am I still up, go to bed stupid.
edit: Forgot to mention. Is that grease I see in the bearings of the head? You shouldn't be using grease there.
