Car at normal operating temp, idling(in neutralw/parking brake engaged) on level ground.
The accepted level by most is about halfway between the hash marks pn the oil dipstick.

Concensus among 993 turbo owners is to run the the oil level around quarter full on the dipstick. Some say thier car will burn oil / smoke until it "finds the right level" and then is fine after that. Others just run their oil level towrds the bottom of the dipstick. Depending upon the severity of your original problem and length of time before it was fixed, you may have oil in your intercooler as well as cats. Intercooler can be cleaned pretty easily, but cats will just take time until residual oil burns off. Another option to prevent accumulation of oil in the turbos are check valves (adpated from the 996 turbo) installed in between turbo and oil supply lines. Couple of aftermarket suppliers have these available. Lots more on this subject over on Rennlist if you have some time to kill.
