Find out exactly where it is leaking. If there is a hole in the pan then jb weld it.

You need to clean all the oil off to find out where it's leaking from. The leak could be on top of the motor. Remember that silly thing called "gravity?"

Check the oil pan gasket. Its a piece of rubber sandwiched between the oil pan and its mating surface above. If you see places where its bulged out or even ripped, it needs to be replaced. If the engine is warm and the oil thin you can see it leak faster from these bulge spots, but be careful. I found out about mine because it tore out right above the main exhaust pipe, and the oil dripping down was burning and almost caught my engine on fire.

The gasket itself is pretty easy to replace, just drain the oil, remove the pan, take off the old gasket and clean all surfaces, then reverse the process and put a new gasket in.
