I did a good cleaning and lubricated my wiper motor and sealed it with RTV. It works very well now except when the switch is in park there is a leak, wipers park properly but leaks until I move the switch back just slightly. I have had it apart 2 times and cannot see the cause any one run into this before?

Where did lubricate the wiper "motor"?

Here are the correct lubrication points - light oil

I disassembled, cleaned, and applied a thin coat of white lithium grease in the tub and on the edge of the paddle. It is working well but has a vacuum leak when wipers are in park.

The switch parts are wear-prone. You are fortunate that you can fiddle with it to make it stop hissing.
