Default oil leak

Hi guys. I have an oil leak. It looks like it is coming from the oil drain plug. But not sure because there is old oil all over the underside of the right side of the car. I just baught this car after it sat for 5 years. Changed gas and cleaned fuel rain and tank and new fuel pump and it runs like a champ. It should it only has 27k on it. But this oil leak thing bothers me i remember reading somewhere there is a very expensive gasket that goes sometimes. Any help on what to look for is great. This is my first posche project and so far it has been fairly minor projects to get it up to snuff. I am just learning as i go so I hope you guess will be a great asset in my endeavors
Thanks for any help.
Larry

Did you change the oil after 5 years storage? It might just be missing the copper drain plug gasket. Not expensive.
