My 2007 RX had the same problem a month ago. It started with the AC light blinking and warm air coming out. I phoned the dealership to let them know that I was bringing it in. In the 4 miles that it took to get to the dealership, the engine started to make a clicking noise, as if a belt were loose. Two blocks from the dealership, the whole engine started making a horrendous amount of noise. When I pulled in, oil was splashing out of the engine. The oil-line had basically exploded. My car spend the next 3 weeks off and on in the shop. My lease is up and I'm turning it in. I hope that Toyota/Lexus recalls this flawed part, as I have been reading about it happening all over the web. My regular mechanic, as well as the mechanic of another friend are both familiar with this problem. Did your noises go away? Mine still has some strange new noises since last month, and Lexus has replaced the oil line, the cam shaft and some gears.
