UPDATE
So I started getting a very small oil leak right after I did the AOS. From what I can tell, it's the rear main seal. I talked to my mechanic who does the stuff I can't. First, he said I saved myself a bunch of money doing it myself. He said he charges 3 hours for the project. Anyone getting it for $200 is getting a deal. He recommended that I go back and make 100% sure it's not the bottom hose from the AOS, which I'll try to tackle in the very near future. Lastly, he said that he prefers the spring clamps over the screw clamp because he said most people over tighten the screw clamps and the clamp with the hose start working their way off the engine. He's a former Porsche dealer mechanic with over 20 years experience, for what it's worth.
He even encouraged me to do the RMS myself. "If you can do the AOS, you can do the RMS." I still think I'll leave that to him when the time comes to have it done. My bruises from the AOS install are just going away.
