Is this the dreaded evaporator problem, is there a quick fix, and approximately how much does it cost to fix the A/C? Thanks in advance.

uhhhh-ohhhhhh

It could be a leaking hose, but I'd be more willing to bet the evaporator gave out.

How long do the evaparators last? The evaporator was replaced in my 92 500SEL a couple of years ago and was just wondering if the replacement would last longer than the original.

8 months and the "CryoSeal" is still sealing my evaporator, Read the above thread and make your decision, seal or repair.
