Leaking!

Alright guys I've been getting water inside the cab of my 96 anytime it rains or I wash it. I haven't been able to find exactly where it's comming from, but I can see that it's running down the right side of the blower motor and dripping onto the floor. I thought it might have been the area between the cab and the fender was clogged with debris, so I hooked up my air compressor and blew it all out. There was quite a bit of leaves and such but it didn't stop the problem at all. Do you have any suggestions as to what to try/look for next? Thanks

Though I've never encountered a leak like you describe the first place I'd check is the cab air intake on the outside of the windshield bottom. There are drain holes in the bottom that are supposed to keep water out of the vent intake that could be clogged.

Are you talking about removing the winshield wiper cowl and checking down there? I don't know if the leak is getting into the blower motor housing itself or just running down the outside of it. The motor was making an awful ticking sound on the lower speeds last month but it has since gone away, but we haven't had a seriously hard rain in about that long.
I'll take the cowl off and see what I can see this weekend, thanks.

I've had blower motors "tick" before... until the chunks of leaves fly out of the defroster vents.
