An oil mist on that side of the motor isn't uncommon. It should be solved, but don't panic.
The infamous "smoke bomb" is extremely common on boxsters at the racetrack. Do a search, you'll find lots of hits.

Perhaps these two unrelated things combined are what you're seeing?

But if you're actually DRIPPING liquid motor oil off of the right side of the motor, then your problem likely lies in the crossover tube. It's a black accordion-like corrugated tube, about 1" diameter, crosses the top of the motor, connects to the AOS. It's 20 yrs old.... brittle, prone to breaking.

Item #4 in the attached diagram.

If it's not that, then you've got a bigger problem someplace.

I'd probably start by smoking the crankcase.
