One simple method is to drive the car and get it up to operating temperature right before you park it for the night. Then get a big piece of clean cardboard(or several taped together) and park the car on top of it for the night. In the morning there should be oil at or near the area of the leak. Then try to to pin point it. Another way is to add a special dye to the oil and use a UV light to trace it. Also, cleaning the bottom of the engine and then driving awhile will help show area of leakage. Hope this helps a bit. If the car is not leaking oil on the ground it is possible that it is burning it. This usually creates some sort of smoke and smell that is evident though.
