Default CEL code from autozone... help?

So a few days ago I got a code, I have an appointment with the dealer to get it checked out tommorow, but I wanted to show you guys the code, and see if its something not worth an arm and leg for the dealer to check it out....

"P1136
Definition: Long term fuel trim add. fuel b1 system too lean
explanation: failed MAF
Probable causes: 1. low fuel pressure
2. vacuum leak on engine
3. failed H02S"

Also, I think this is from a VW code, closest they had to audi. Whats this crap mean?
Oh yeah, I also got an oil filter while I was there.... Fram PH3569 extram guard... is this a good "large" one?

air/vacuum leak by the sound of it so check all your vacuum lines and gaskets ( its called a VAG code which covers AUDI/VW/SKODA )

a gasket goes between inlet components as do the cylinder head gasket, vacuum pipes are thin rubber pipes all over the place so a keen eye is required for splits

Electrical tape to seal your hose for the road trip tonight. Should hold until you can replace the hose section.

The pink crusties you see indicate a coolant leak. The g12 antifreeze in there is pink.
It could be a slow leak, or could just be some antifreeze that got on there at some point.
Take hoses off, inspect closer for leaks. Could bea crack in the oil cooler, which can be replaced DIY.
