Default Losing oil & coolant

I'm slowly losing oil & coolant and I'm also getting some backfireing. I don't have any spots where I park but there is a small amount of oil built up on my exhaust. All advise welcome. Thanks in advance.

pressure test the cooling system and look for a drop in pressure on the gauge and then look for an external leak, if none are seen it could have a head gasket issue which can be tested for too, however with your lack of info on this matter, it's hard to make anymore guesses than this.........
