Pretty unusual for the motor to fail - have you checked the power at the actual wiper motor?

[clazzza commy]

yer there is power going to the motor itself but the motor not even making a sound and it seems 2 be leaking grease

[hako]

Maybe try 'forcing' the arms backwards and forwards whilst power is applied....try not to bend anything!
It may be a arm pivot that has frozen with rust.

yer na i pulled the motor out yesterday and everything moves as it should,like its not rusted or anything but when i was driving it was working 4 about 5mins then just stopped thats why im thinking the motor

[hako]

Did you try 12V to the motor whilst you had it out?

[clazzza commy]

yer tried that and it didnt do anything

[hako]

In that case it's a wrecker job - usually $30 or so. It wouldn't be worth it to recondition them as they are basically a throw-away job.
