I found my air leak

There is no air line off of that . Its an exhaust for the wiper motor. If it gets plugged at all the wipers won't work. Because its leaking air , It sounds like it is ok .  Your problem is somewhere else. 

The first thing I would try is taking the air lines off the other side and put some air tool oil in them . Sometimes that's enough to get them going . Otherwise you may need a rebuild kit. I don't know much about that , but its been talked about on here . The air tool oil or penetrating oil has always worked for me .

When you shut the wipers off ,you put them into park position . If they are coming on sporadicly, I would lean toward the control valve .  

Its on the right side of the pic . 

I think ? its part # would be 7623-7547070 but not sure . Hopefully Watts can help you or a local to you Mack dealer

Before you buy anything or tear everything apart , take the supply line off the control valve and put some air tool oil in it . Then turn wipers on and off a lot , keep putting them in park , if truck has been sitting  for a while , might be enough to solve your problem . 

In case you didn't know , park position is important . If your wiper control is pull out and turn to the right to increase speed , the park is... push in all the way till wipers go back to the bottom . If you turn the wiper control to the right to turn it on and increase speed , turn to the left all the way till wipers go back to the bottom . When they are in park, no air should go to the motor and therefore no air leaking out the exhaust . 

Just my thought anyway
