Sorry to say but, not really. Once the oil leaks out and drips onto anything, it will become contaminated with dirt and other particles not visible to the naked eye. If you were to try and reuse the contaminated oil, it could harm major engine components internally. Repair the leak as soon as possible is all you can do.
