Default Oil leak and boost questions

Got my car on the lift today and found that I have an oil leak. It was hard to say exactly where it was coming from but there is oil all over the starter so Im guessing its head gaskets. I put more oil in and put some cardboard down in the garage. When I get more time this week I'm gonna get the starter and some other stuff out and try to locate the exact spot of the leak. Anyone know where I can get some good head gaskets? I don't wanna cheap out I'm willing to spend good money on good parts.

I am pretty sure I have a boost leak. According to my boost gauge I don't, but isn't it possible to still have a leak? I tapped into that first hose line in front of the engine on the manifold for my boost reading. If anyone knows exactly what hoses I need to check let me know. My car was fine when I drove it this morning but I def def def feel a lose in power and I can hear air pouring out of somewhere.

first make sure its the headgasket!!!! changing that is a big job and it could just be your valve cover gasket.

I dont know much about your car but I doubt its the head gasket... I have never even heard of a head gasket issue in all the audi searches/info i have found/done.. But ya never know..

The cam adjuster seals like to leak also, and there is no need to remove the starter, it will prob be leaking at the rear of the engine
