What are the OBD-II codes, what are the symptoms? what did the mechanic(s) say wrong with the car?

No useful info given in the original post [to give feedback].

The PO sort of gives info in the title of the post: "Air Bank System 2". Wording seems a bit odd, but air leak on cylinder bank #2? Air pump plumbing might have a leak.

I had the same problem few months ago. There was a small crack in the Y-pipe (11727508270)

You need to remove intake to replace this part.

Since you will have the intake out - I would recommend replacing the air valve for bank 2 (11727553101) or both valves
Good luck.

+1. The air valves are usually fairly robust. Generally, the hoses give out due to heat, age, and (possibly) oil contamination.
