Default any quick fixes for an oil leak?

after only a week of driving, i had a pretty serious amount of oil on the back of my car, and i was a quart low with only 600 miles since i changed the oil. i checked lucas oil, they didnt have anything for engine oil that renews the seals. i know its my oil pan, but its going to be a while until i can pull my engine up to change the gasket. are there any quick fixes for the issue?

if you are going to do all that you might as well put a new gasket on it
