A7 Valve Covers

I am new to an Audi. 2014 A7 that started leaving oil on the driveway. I had it at the dealer for the dreaded steering rack and had them do an oil change. The first puddle started after that. I took it back hoping it was the drain plug. Turns out it is the valve covers. I have read that because they are plastic and they can warp, it's best to just replace them. Is there a specific place to get new ones? I'm not comfortable with Amazon ones that are $100 for the pair but don't want to spend $400 for the aftermarket ones I saw. After dropping $5,600 on the steering rack, I want to keep this one economical but not buy cheap parts that will fail. I will be replacing myself.

I would just replace the gasket and if it still leaks than I would look at replacing the actual covers.

I just replaced the ones on my 2017 with a set from ECS Tuning for $300. But, I do not think they fixed my issue (excessive oil consumption causing a misfire). So, I sold my car...
