Yes sounds like your outdoor fan motor is going bad would recommend replacement.Also when you kill power to the unit take a screwdriver and run it across the two terminals on the capacitor to discharge it before removing the wires.Also make sure you have the proper size capacitor for the new motor it may be different than the one you. Have right now.
Eta if you use a universal motor make sure the blade is turning in the right rotation

Oh yes, always do this.
Capacitors will shock the shite out of you. How do you think two nine volt batteries can do this??
Imagine what one hooked up to 120 or 240 will do...
Always discharge your capacitors.
dman, not even two nine volts.... Four 1.5 volt batteries in a model C taser (used in above gif)
