No idea- I think there is only one way unless you use magic.

This is my suspicion also. I may have a leak at the head gasket, but what is clear is that it is much worse when I drive at higher rpm. I am actually leaving a smoke trail now. I might need to put a warning sticker on my bumper to advise motorcycles of my massive oil loss.
Either the oil is leaking due to oil pressure overcoming the seal or because crank- case pressure is elevated due to faulty ventilation. I did check the breather hoses and they are clear. I must now source a new pcv valve or whatever audi calls it. I do not seem to have excessive engine blow by.

on the 2.8, there is not PCV valve. get a pair valve cover gaskets, take off your valve covers and wash them with high pressure and detergent. or you can try soaking them in a solution of simple green and water, rinse them really well, reinstall with new valve cover gasket and torque the bolts to spec.
but you might have other issues.

When installing valve cover gaskets, ensure that mating surfaces are clean and bright.. Use brake cleaner. Sand paper P400-600. Be sure to use an (O2 sensor safe) gasket sealant on crevice on each side of the front and back cam cap. I've done mine for the second time now. I've done seal rings on camshafts and crank pulley. I'm on the 3rd seal ring on one side. I had some trouble with a small scratch in the camshaft, so this time I swapped the camshaft.
