Has my frame had it?

Hey guys, would love an opinion on this. I've noticed a crack around the chainstay of my ~8y.o. carbon Look KG461. Is this a big deal? Time for a new frame? The gut instinct says yes. That said, it is at the point where the tube is attached to the lug and there is a corresponding 'lump' on the other side of the frame which has the paint intact. Could it just be a bit of movement in this joint rather than the carbon about to fail and drop me on my ass? Also, the top coat is intact on the inner edge of the chainstay. Fwiw, I had a spoke break about a month ago which caused the rear wheel to jam against the chainstay. Could this have caused the problem?

Cheers guys - love to hear any feedback!
