Hi - I am not sure where the leak is coming from myself (I am new to Boxsters), but I do have some oil in the same place on my 97', though not quiet as wet as the pick you have posted. From dealing with oil leaks in the past, I know that cleaning it off well with a good cleaning fluid then running the vehicle for a few miles will make it a lot easier to spot the source of the leak. Sorry that's all the advice I can offer, hope you solve it.

Could be the rear main seal.
