Is it clean fresh oil or dark nasty stuff that could be from the previous leak?
Spray it off with some degreaser and wait and see if it comes back. It is hard to get all of the oil off from an engine when there has been a leak so it could be a remnant....
Hopefully it isn't the oil pan... That would require a full front frame drop and removal of the front axles to fix ~$50 in gaskets...
