where is the leak coming from? Is it some type of oil or coolant? Feel of it, is it oily? Check all your fluid levels. You may be able to use wrench or socket on end of crankshaft, see if you can turn it? If you can turn crankshaft, it isn't seized. You can remove sparkplugs and accessory belt, make it easier to turn, and incase of hydrostatic lock, fluid in the cylinders.
