Your '86 has a completely redesigned oil return system, this '79 has a hose going straight to the air filter box (the one running alongside the spider intake plenum), so oil in the filter is very common.
This example is in excess though, the normal amount being a 'skidmark' on the filter and a thin film inside the airbox.
Many good replys already as to the reason. Clean it up, replace the filter and drive is some more. If it returns in the same quantities I would investigate further, but as it stands it could very well be gummed rings or other misc. stuff from sitting so long.
The oil-baffle from 928 Classics seems to be the most well-engineered on the market today. Certainly better than the flat one from 928 MS...
