My new to me 2002 986 absolutely stinks of oil, inside and outside the cabin, during and after a drive.

A quick look underneath ( I don't have a jack low enough to fit under this car yet ) shows it's leaking oil for sure. I did a bit of research and ordered new spark plug tubes, but this looks like it might be something more sinister than just that. Not the end of the world as I was expecting a project with this car.

A few quick pictures of the underneath in case it's obvious to any of the experts here!
