You will be able to tell this question comes from someone who hasn't
put in many miles in their 240D yet:
Regarding the oil filter: There is a remote, drop-in-element type
filter, correct? I thought it was mounted on the firewall. Am I
incorrect? Are there two oil filters - a remote one, and a traditional
block-mounted, screw-on type?
Reason asked: The mechanic says there's a leak at the fuel filter
housing gasket. And he says it's mounted to the engine block. My mind
is picturing that unit on the driver's side of the engine that (I
thought) was mounted to the firewall. I'm trippin out. Maybe that is
the fuel filter. Hardcore dieselers: try to disguise your disgust.
I know, I should look at the manual on CD. I don't have it with me
right now. By way of clarification, the car isn't near me either. I
know the gasket will be inexpensive, but wonder if the dealer will
take a few days to order it in. Won't be able to provide part no. (as
in for Rusty) 'til I actually get my hands on the car. And by that
time I won't have much time for it to be shipped to me.

Oil Filter is LR side of engine, fuel is at the LF.
