    I feel your pain. First thing is it looks like your right side Intercooler is leaking from the Oil at the bottom right. I thought I was just about done with my conversion and close to your hose there is the Turbo Pressure control line from the N75 to the Left Turbo, it was leaking. I just lowered the engine 4~5" but I think I'm going to have to drop the whole thing. Those Audi lines looks fancy and braided but they are shit. The Wastegate hoses from the N75 go to a plastic 'T'. I'm replacing it with a Stainless 'T'. Going to replace the hose you just showed as well as all of the others, what a pain in the ass. The Pressure control line, another fancy looking hard line with a crimped on stainless braided hose is leaking right at the factory crimp. I think I'm going to have some better quality aeroquip lines made up. Going from lowering the engine to pulling the engine tomorrow.
    How did I find out, my Requested Boost was lower than my actual Boost. So the pressure line was leaking a little boost so the N75 would tell the computer and it would pump more boost.

    TBH it's not even worth trying to fight it with the engine in the car. I struggled, fighting with it. Trying to gain access to get at the hose, until I finally made the executive decision just to take the engine out again. It couldn't have happened any other way...
