Well, how fast is it leaking? How often do you need to add oil? Take a liter or two with you and stop once in a while to check, if you think it's really pouring out.

P. S. What difference does my location make?

I was guessing you might be running the air conditioning. Most of us in the states are running the heater this time of year. I wouldn't mind some 90 degree weather about now. :}
