Worse case would be a rear main seal. It would leak fast. Other areas would be valve cover gaskets or oil pan.
You would need to clean the engine vary well and then run a while to find the leak. Some shops use a "Tracer Dye" to help locate the leak.

First you need to tell us exactly where the leak is. Pan gasket, front or rear seal, or valve covers. Does it leak when the motor is running sitting still in your driveway? Place a tripple thickness of newspapers below the motor to find where the leak is.
Better yet, invest in a set of Rhino Ramps at Wallyworld (Walmart) in the automotive dept. Get underneath the car and pinpoint the oil leak.
Enter your problem again when you find exactly where the leak is and we can give you an idea what the cost will be to repair.
