Yeah, that is your root problem then.
You can get the rubber boot that goes over the plug and onto the motor for around 10 bucks from the Porsche dealer. Only problem with that is to get it on you have to pull the plastic connector off which requires a little tool to release the pin "prongs" that engage the plastic socket. The socket will never fit through the boot entry as it is too big. Easy to ruin the pins on release if you don't know what you are doing.
There is a self sealing rubber electrical wrap that sort of welds itself together when you put it on. Look in the electrical section of the hardware store. That would probably fix the old boot up at least for a few years. Made by 3M, but others make it also. It really sticks together well and is flexible, unlike regular plastic electrical tape. I like to use it when you can't apply a glue lined heat shrink tube.
