Check your cam oil lines, mine were leaking a bit, part $30 andabout 1 hours of labor from a guy that had never worked on a Porsche.
The line is easy to spot, it hides behind your ac compressor just above the chain cover. Oh wait! You said driver side! So it would be the one behind the distributor. For this one (if it is leaking) you would have to remove the distributor. (add 20 minutes of labor)

The leak could come from the cam housing seal or the hi-pressure seal on the bolt.
I tightened down on the bolts mine to stop the leak from the cam housing seal. That did not stop the leak. I also had to replace the hi-pressure seal on each bolt. ---- anthony |

Both my cam seals are leaking. I thought the engine had to be removed to replace them and was planning on taking care of them when I get a top end rebuild done this fall. If its not that big of deal I'd rather fix the seals now and stop dripping oil all over the headers...and garage.
