Yep, you had the system over filled, the problem is the passenger side blend door actuator, I would swap it out for e new unit, here is the location which is under the passenger side dash, you might need to remove the glove box and lower dash panel to get to it. The blend door actuators do not require manual calibration as long as you install OEM-style actuators and reconnect the battery properly. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.

Nothing, a blend door actuator and a servo motor are the same thing.
