I have a question for you guys, I really need some advice, I took my s4 to the dealer diagnose an oil leak that a lot of these S4's have. The The tech at the dealership said that they couldn't even get me an accurate estimate because there way "oil every where." But from whatever they could find, these are the parts that need to be replaced:

Valve cover gasket- Quantity 2
Spybell Hose
Turbo Oil Retention Line Seals- Quantity 2
Cam Adjuster gasket Quantity 2
Intake gaskets
Valve Pan Gaskets

I was wondering if you guys think I should even consider fixing all of this and if I decide to not fix and just drive it, what would happen?

Most of the leaks come from the top of the engine. The camshaft seals (pop em out and pop new ones in), cam tensioner gaskets (PITA even the 2nd time - but doable in a couple hours), and the valve cover gaskets will get replaced at the same time.

I'd replace the items that can be DIY'd fairly easily, clean up the engine and then see what happens.
