the cars are going on to being 20 years old. if they don't leak now you can always wait till the eventual rebuild to have them updated

Default 91 c2

I agree, however the car is being described as having leaky valve covers

Look for the "ENGINE SERIAL NUMBER", it is on the right side of the engine under the a/c pump, hard to see, but look around you will find it.
Engine # 62M06836 or later has the updated cylinder heads.

Per Porsche TSB 9404 -

Models Affected:
911 Carrera 2/4 years 89 (K), 90 (L), and 91 (M) up to engine number
62 M06836, M64.01 - Manual
62 M52757, M64.02 - Tiptronic

The cylinder heads are supposed to be marked with a "-10" or "-20" on the intake flange. See red circled area in attached picture. But identifying the marks may be quite hard.
