I have a leak on the one that goes to the back of the engine bay - which is why my air con doesn't work.

Don't know if you have to take out other stuff to replace that pipe, or whether it can perhaps even be repaired (do you know exactly where the leak is ?).
Obviously then you'll need your aircon re-gassing.

custom made its a lot of small bends, you'd have to see how much it is from Lexus, then maybe change it yourself and then pay to fill it up?

For that cost I may as well let Lexus do the job one day - if they will work on my car that is:Chair:

May try a local guy for a 2nd opinion.
