The reason you're leaking memory is that you're creating a new SDL_Rect 
everytime you use one. You only need one ... ie
SDL_Rect temp_Rect;
// set rect params
// pass the address like so
engine.draw(tmp_Surface, &tmp_Rect);

// change parameters and use it again.
engine.draw(tmp_Surface, &tmp_Rect);

This of course assumes that your engine is just using the values in each 
call and not storing the address for some future use.

There are other places where you're "newing" data, but there are no 
deletes. When you're allocating memory in a loop and you never delete 
it, you'll be out of memory soon.
