Keep in mind that IF you don't do something soon, you can  actually  loosen 
up the bushing from the transmission. If that  happens, then the bushing  
will eat the center of the seal, causing  water damage to the inside of the 
 
car. BTDT with my old 76 bug.  That's IF you're lucky, that only that 
happens.  
Otherwise, the shaft  seizes in the bushing, then completely stops moving,  
burning up the  wiper motor. :O 


 
I should add that I've seen the shaft try to "weld" itself to the  bushing. 
If that happens, only heat from a torch and a punch will get it  free.
