Basically there are like three places it could be leaking from if its not the oil pan and it is coming from the front. The valve cover (very easy to spot), the timing chaing cover, or the front main seal. I replaced my front main over the winter and it wasnt too bad. Just start from the top and work your way down. My money is on the front main seal. Both me and my brother (95 SE) have replaced ours in the last 6 months so it seems like a common problem on the 240. Good luck.
