Pickup a pressure testing kit or rent one from an auto parts store. It's basically a bike pump with a couple different shape caps which go on in place of the radiator cap.

When the engine is cold, take off the radiator cap and put on the proper adapter. Pump up to 18 or 20 psi and look for the leak.

Naturally this only helps locate coolant leaks, not oil.
