There could be a number of reasons. Gaskets could have failed. (Head gasket, valve cover gasket, or oil pan gasket, for example.) Seals could have failed as well. it's also possible there's an obstruction in the PCV system, which could have pressurized the crankcase and blown out seals. If your vehicle has an oil cooler, the leak could be there. Could be damage to the oil pan itself.

What should you replace if your car is leaking oil?

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.
