[V8] One down, one to go

It's fixed.

The oil leak WAS the top rear sender. The $8 Beck/Arnley part turns out 
to be a gen-you-wine Audi part, four rings, Audi part number, and even 
blue just like the EKTA says it should be.

Installs in two minutes from above, a 15/16" open end wrench fits 
between the header pipes and lets the sender be properly tightened. 
Another minute to reinstall the heat shield, and one more to put the 
right air intake duct back on.


Not a drop of oil leaking from the area any more. Yay! This thing runs 
SO well . . .



Now to resolve the warm-running problem, hopefully by picking a better 
thermostat after reading the *entire* thread and seeing which one works 
for sure.
