Cam covers with metal plug tubes do have seals at their base, but changing them requires removing the cam cover, which requires both special tooling and some knowledge of the Porsche cam timing technology.

Yes, that is the seal and the cam tool set.

The engine needs to be lowered down enough to gain access, or just dropped out completely.  As for how to use the tool, I would search for online DIY articles, or look for a copy of the factory service manual for the car.
