Coolant leaks can normally be temporarily repaired with heavy duty adhesive tape, hose and clamps. If a serious oil leak occurs, shut down the engine immediately and try to find the cause.  Oil leaks are a lot harder to repair temporarily because of the pressure involved.  However, if the main flow can be stopped to a drip or dribble, place a can underneath the leak and replenish the engine with new oil (from a spare oil can) at the same rate as the loss. Drip  trays  of  metal  or  glass  fiber  should  be  used  beneath  the  engine  to  stop  lubricating  oil  or  fuel  oil  dripping  into  the bilges.  Care must be taken to avoid galvanic action between the drip tray and engine (e.g., a copper tray should not be used under an aluminum alloy oil pan).  Remember to keep the drip tray clean because this provides an early indication of leaks.
