It depends on where is the oil leaking. I may be caused by a worn or defective oil retainer, if there is one on the leaking place. And depends also of which kind of oil you are referring to.

Additional Question: The leak is on the passenger side of the engine and appears to be more towards the rear rather than the front of the engine. If you park it seems to not just leak a couple drops but leaves a puddle very quickly and leaves a trail of oil when move the car. The engine runs normal and does not have any unusual sounds.

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.
