I would clean the entire suspicious area properly, this will give you a much better overview, there are a lot of stuff there that can leak.

Probably either the spark plug tube seals or the solenoid for the timing chain timing. I forget the porsche name for the solenoid. I have a '99 and they both leaked in that same spot. Easy fix. But clean and inspect.

+1 on RFM's suggestion - clean and then look for the source.

Here is the link to some photos which solved a similar leak on a 1999 C2.

Attached is a pic of the solenoid I was reffering to. At the top of the picture is a circular object with some wires coming out. That's the solenoid. It has a flange with a gasket that sits on the solenoid. You can replace the flange seperately.
