Is it hard to take off the top of the dash?

I see the row of screws under the horizontal trim piece on my 2014 and the screws in the ends of the dash cap at the doors. Looks like the instrument cluster would have to come out too. Is that it?...

Totally a guess but maybe the parking brake? Possibly try dragging the parking brake a little while the noise is happening to see what happens. I guess the chime will ring when you raise the handle...

If you're really going to sell you might as well get the recall done. Clears up the issue and shouldn't make any difference to you since you're not keeping the car.

This is pretty normal for modern cars. There are aftermarket kits to add an electrically operated valve to shut off the water flow if you are really bothered by the design.

The chimes and click clack sound are produced by the radio, even when it's turned off. If the radio is broke you won't get those sounds. I don't know how to troubleshoot the radio though.

It looks like the brake fluid has taken off the paint on the fender/firewall structure below the reservoir. Yeah, I'd take it to the dealer.

Plus the leak could eventually make the brakes fail.
