Best Answer

Gasket is bad or bolts around perimeter of pan are in need of a light tightening.

ANS 2 - A typical cause of this is people who tighten the bolts round in a circle, as opposed to the way it should be done, which is doing all up fingertight, then going side to side tightening opposing bolts, so the gasket does not get clamped on one side and loose on the other.

What would cause oil to leak out of engine but not out of car?

An oil leak is always going to be out of the engine as the engine contains oil and the car does not. I think you are saying you are loosing oil with no apparent leak. If that is the case the engine is burning oil and that is why you see no leaks.
