^^^Agreed. ^^^
I've never seen spark plug tubes leak that amount of oil before - there is something more serious causing that leak.
You will have to get the car up in the air (preferably on jack stands) to ascertain where the leak is coming from.
How much oil has been lost - what level does the dipstick show?

I think there are no more spark plug tubes in a 2003 Boxster...

This is true. If the dealer advised you that, find a new dealer.
