1998 Peugeot 406 wipers slowed then stopped :(

Car: Peugeot 406
Year: 1998
Variant: 2.0 coupe
Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
Was driving home today when I noticed my wipers slowing ..... Eventually stopping in the park position ,

Any ideas ?

Oh when I opened the bonnet I also found .... Most of my new expensive oil on the outside of the engine .... The dipstick having been pushed out ! That's for another day though !! Do the early 2.0 16v xu10 engines suffer blocked breather issues ?

Any known fixes would be muchly appriciated :)

Probably knackered wiper motor .Sounds like back pressure blown out dipstick .
