I'd clean up the mess, drive the car for a few days, and then re-inspect. I'll bet the "leak" is gone...

My money is on this ^^^
Good advice

A little tricky to clean up, especially on a 993 turbo with the intercooler in the way.
Some citrus based cleaner can be used to spray and flush the area below the fill neck.
Just expect to have dripping for some time. There are a few different things in the path that will take time to dry up.
