You know we need a whole lot more information than that. Engine oil can leak from the oil pressure sending unit. Coolant will be running down from somewhere higher. Since we don't even knowing the engine size, there's no way to know if your sending unit is in the area of the water pump. Leaking water pumps are common on any car and no reason to give up on the entire engine. The first thing to do is have the leak diagnosed by a professional.
