The reason this type of leak is expensive to fix (requires a new tail housing unit) is because Porsche used a blank pressed in bronze plug in the side of the tailhousing that is then machined in place to accept the shaft. There are no aftermarket replacement bushings available, and machining out a new plug requires a lot of specialized tooling fixtures that you simply cannot buy.
