    This just started last night.
    1) is there something I should be lubricating?
    2) should I just change the motor? If so, where can I source one?

    Check the cylinders for leaks before replacing motor.

    71+ big cars are all electric. No hydraulics.

    Any place there is a moving joint, spray with lithium grease. Also the cables would be a good place to look they unscrew at each end. Remove them when the top is down.
