+1 on the possible RMS leak, these were fairly common in that model year. Porsche has developed and released an updated RMS design that seems to put an end to the issue, but it does require pulling the trans, clutch, and flywheel to get at it. Long term impact of an RMS leak is that it will not get better, but could get substantially worse, and end up killing the clutch as well as making one Hell of a mess in the process.

Upside is that you now have a reason to go in there, update the RMS and IMS bearing with the LN retrofit, and replace the clutch. Depending upon the condition of your flywheel, you would be back on the road for something in the $2-3K range with no further fear of the dreaded IMS issue, and your oil leak will be gone as well………
