You have a head gasket leak? How do you know? And what did Audi do wrong, did you ever have the heads removed for any repair, or is this an untouched stock engine?

Default valve cover gasket not head gasket

headgaskets seldom leak oil, it's the valve cover gaskets that frequently leak. The valve cover sits on the head and I think you're confusing the issue.

Do not tighten head bolts 'a little bit more.' Do some research. Those are likely angle tightened bolts or torque-to-yield…you tighten them more you might just break them.
