This has now developed into a big problem you are experiencing.
If you have intermixing of the coolant and oil (which it sounds like you have) its time for you to take it to an EXPERIENCED Porsche shop for diagnosis. Do not run the engine or drive the car - have it flat- bedded.
The problem could be as simple as a faulty heat exchanger or as serious as a major engine failure - only a good Porsche tech will be able to advise you on your next step.
But be warned, non of the remedies will be cheap to fix.....
