In the engine would be a good start. That is usually where motor oil belongs, unless it is a SAAB that also uses motor oil for transmission fluid. If it is leaking, you should take it to a reputable repair shop and have it looked at. They could pinpoint your leaks and repair them. Then you would not have to add oil all of the time. Saving you time and money on lost engine fluids.

Well, based on what little info you provided, let's start with the basics. The engine oil needs to go into the crank case. Check your owner's manual - it will give you specific instructions and information.
As far as your oil leaking, I would check the filter first - you know, it's that round thingy about 6" long, depending on the vehicle. Did you install it yourself? If so, therein may be your problem. I would suggest you take it to an oil change company - let them change the oil and replace the filter. If it still leaks after that, take the car home, place a really large piece of cardboard underneath your car and the next day, you will be able to tell from what area of the engine it is leaking. Then call for a wrecker and have it towed to a mechanic you trust, making sure you give the wrecker driver the cardboard from under your car.

Get out the car's manual, if you have it. If not, go online to that manufacturer's website, look up that model of car and find an engine diagram. You can also just look under the hood.
Find a cap on top of the engine labelled "OIL", and also a long thin metal dipstick which goes into the bottom of the engine block . The dipstick measures how much oil is in the reservoir. Don't add any oil until you check how much is already there, or you risk having too much oil. The dipstick is graduated in quarts, so you know how much to add.
You add oil by unscrewing the cap labelled "OIL" and neatly pouring in more. There is a sticker inside the driver's door with the manufacturer's suggested weight of oil (viscosity)... this is also in the owner's manual. Remember to screw the OIL cap back on again!
Oil leaks can result from lots of things, including a blown head gasket, oil plug, oil filter, cracked block, oil fill cap not put back on tightly. You need a reliable mechanic.

check and see the engine where the leak starts. make sure the engine plug, engine dip stick are in placed. The best way to do is to send that car to a technician for repair.

Check the oil plug first

Your oil goes into the same place that your dip stick is attached to. there is probably a small round nob that should be twisted to pour it into. you should probably change the gasket.

Pull into a auto service center and have some one show you.
