Default 1999 a6 p0432 p0411

I'm getting both of these codes now.

The right catalytic converter was replaced recently. And actually I may have been getting these codes even before I replaced the catalytic converter...but I'm not sure.

Would a bad right oxygen sensor explain both of these codes (as well as the bad catalytic converter)? I've heard that a vacuum leak might explain them as well....but I haven't been able to detect one (using the carb and choke cleaner).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

(using the carb and choke cleaner) - not a good test! Use a smoke machine.
