According to the experts (Flat 6 / JFPinPA), M96 engine cylinder head gaskets rarely - if ever - fail and if they did, they wouldn't usually weep oil externally, you would have intermix problems.
More plausible would be your cambox(s) may need re-sealing (can be done with engine in car but easier with it out) or if pre 2003 car the spark plug tube O rings have hardened and are leaking - an easy job that can be done in a couple of hours and less than $100 in parts.
First off I would clean the areas with degreaser and check for the source of the leakage yourself after a couple of hundred km.
I would also get a second opinion from a reputable Porsche shop.....
