Default Vararam engine light + lean codes update

I had a check engine light last Sunday after reinstalling my Vararam. Removed the code by taking off neutral battery connection. Put it all back together yesterday and went out for a short ride. All seemed well. Fooled around with Vararam last night. Took it out a few minutes ago and I got the engine light. Used my new Innova 3110 to get the codes. Lean bank 1 + 2. Did hear load hissing sound when I took it out today. Just took off the connections and reinstalled. Should I clear the code and try again? Something else I should look for?

Update
The hose from the oil catch can I put on was not fully seated.

Make sure all of the hose clamps are tight. Once that is done, clear the codes.

Any kind of a leak in the connections will cause a CEL.
