Identify the origin of the leak, and repair accordingly. E.g., if it's the oil pump, reseal or replace it. If it's the oil pan gasket, replace the gasket. If it's blowing through the scraper rings on the cylinders and out the exhaust, it's probably a good time to rebuild the engine. What kind of answer are you expecting? WHERE the engine oil is leaking from matters.
