Probably a vacuum leak.
Replacing the AOS in such a cramped location sometimes causes dislodging of vac limes.Some are not put back correctly,the oil filler tube cracks. There re some good Threads on the techniques to locate the leaks.Tedious work with carb cleaner &/or propane &/or smoke machine.

You may have a crack on the (long) accordion hose that goes from the top of the head (or block?) behind the driver side to the AOS, these get very brittle with age
