Ah, not to put a damper on your fine work, but with
such a nice looking new engine, I noticed the oil cooler
hoses are rusting at the ferules.  On my '89 200 TQ,
that's where the braided part separated from the solid
pipe part, spewing oil all over the road. That was my
Audi's way of marking her territory, and earned her
her name.  You may want to closely evaluate the
condition of your hoses and replace if necessary.
I'd hate to see all your hard work be for nothing if
the hoses let loose.
