The evap box comes in 2 halves which are joined together at the seams, unfortunately it is NOT 1 solid peice. If you're evap box has a crack, then you're most likely having to replace the entire assembly or find the evap box at a junkyard. Pinhole leaks at the seams, in my opinion can be easily re-sealed again (all labor no material). It's been a year now and no leaks, so far so good. Mechanic had this same fix on another GS which had the same exact problem (common in GSs) and it's been 3 years now for him and no problems. Do the math, even if this $600 bandaid last three or more years, it's 1/5 the cost to change the entire assembly when you ONLY need that $75 evap box. One would figure that you can buy the box alone (trust me, I tried) but you CANNOT, at least not new.

As far as "sealing a A/C condenser" (sakatj), i would NOT reccommend, I'm referring to the evap box which is made from fiberglass/plastic. My fix only cost me 5 or 600 bucks vs the 3000 Lexus wanted. My mechanic would probably charge someone else more money but he owed me (my brother) a big favor. BTW He's in Brooklyn... Good luck with yours, if you do get a group buy going, I'd love to know how low Lexus would go.
