I ‘ve tried to solve the problem setting $HistoryLength=0

As I understand, you tried to set

$HistoryLength = 0

in the master kernel only. But the slave kernels still have infinity history length what you can check by evaluating 

 ParallelEvaluate[$HistoryLength]

I recommend you setting zero history length in the slave kernels too:

ParallelEvaluate[$HistoryLength = 0]

Module does cause memory leaks in a number of specific cases, but I don't think the memory leak you describe is due to Module. I recommend you reading this (specifically the penultimate paragraph from the second post by Leonid Shifrin and posts linked therein) for additional information about situations when Module can cause memory leaks. Also you can find useful the following threads:
