depends on what is leaking? but money usally helps.Is there anything i can put in my car to stop a oil leak
You need to provide more information, type of car and engine. Exactly where the oil is coming out on the car, not where it is dripping, but the point it is emitted from the engine. Understand that it is usually moved by air flow on the engine before it drips. If it is a major mechanical problem such as a blown gasket or hole worn in the oil pan no additive will work. You might check the pcv as i once had one plug up and without crankcase ventilation this can force oil out. Fixing the pcv with a new clean one was cheap and fixed the problem. I would not recommend any additives to fix the problem until you diagnose the problem. If when diaganosis deems the car not worth repairing then an additive may slow the oil loss down, depends on the reason for leak. In short answer... no, additives usually are a waste of time.Is there anything i can put in my car to stop a oil leak
If it is in the engine, the oil seal needs replacement and it has to be done in the garage.If it is from the bottom chamber nut, you will require only a washer to add in the nut below the chamber from where you drain out oil.
There are lot of additive out there that are suppose to stop a leak.
But your oil is the life blood. If it failed down the line after temporary fix, and you didn't know, you can be driving on dry engine.

Get it fixed correct way.
