The perturbation of the Dirac sea to first order in the external potential is calculated in an expansion around the light cone. It is shown that the perturbation consists of a causal contribution, which describes the singular behavior of the Dirac sea on the light cone and contains bounded line integrals over the potential and its partial derivatives, and a non-causal contribution, which is a smooth function. As a preparatory step, we construct a formal solution of the inhomogeneous Klein-Gordon equation in terms of an infinite series of line integrals. More generally, the method presented can be used for an explicit analysis of Feynman diagrams of the Dirac, Klein-Gordon, and wave equations in position space.
