That would depend on where it is leaking oil. Leaking valve covers would require the replacement of the valve cover gaskets. Most oil leaks are easily fixed, but some are not so easy and are really not cost effective to repair. A leaking crankshaft seal is very expensive to repair and unless it is leaking excessively, I would just deal with the leak. Of course that also depends on how old the car is and how long you plan on driving it. If you do not repair the leak, just remember to check your oil level regularly.
