Default 2006 gx470 passenger leak & clicking noise

I've tried searching, so I apologize if I've missed a good article on these issues. I found a couple but the pics were no longer valid.

Have water on passenger side floorboard after a heavy rain or car wash. Seems to come from more the dash glovebox area than rocker panel. I'm aware of cleaning sunroof drains, don't think that's it.

I've removed the kick panel, can see drain, it's not too short like other post show.

I realize it could be the windshield, but what about the cowl drains? Anyone have experience with this?

Now to the clicking noise. I hear it when AC is on recirculate, if I switch to fresh air, it stops. The temp outside or in, seems irrelevant.

Any advice, video, or pics showing how to fix it?

So clicking is recirculate servo, is that basically a dealer job?
Or anyone know of a good place to find info on how to fix it?

Still haven't solved leak issue, I fed trimmer line through sunroof drains. Checked cowl drains, they were good, so leak still a mystery.

Servo motor just need to be replaced, fixing it is futile

It's right behind the CD changer in the glove box, it's like changing the pollen cabin filter...just hard getting hands in there, also you need to disconnect a CPU that controls the airbags....this was a job I let the dealer do, their labor wasn't that much.
