Default oil leaking, valve-cover-gasket replacement

About a month ago, I found oil-leaking under the engine when I detached the noise-reduction-plate to see the engine bottom part. So I brought my S4 to the dealorship for repair. The dealorship said the valve-cover-gaskets failed. When I asked them the reason for the fail they said those gaskets are defective. (My car has about 46000 mileage.)
Anyway, those gaskets were replaced with new ones.

Today, about a month after that gasket replacement. I found there's still oil-leaking, and it looks like from the gasket-junctions.

Does anyone have similar experience?

Take it back. Apparently the installation was bad. They should fix this at no charge.

Default I had mine done at my last (final free) service ...

they also replaced the valve covers themselves. I asked why and was told that they were also "defective" but I'm not quite sure that that means. In any event, no more leaking since they were done.
