without trouble shooting id say it would most likely be either the oil filter is cactus and is leaking, one of the many rear seals may have been warn over time and no longer retain the factory seal so they should be replaced (this can be filter and engine located seals) or a oil line pipe has a puncture or a loose connection, (without knowing what engine make model etc, this is a very broad diagnosis)

Why does oil leak when engine turns over?
When your engine turns over, there is an oil pump inside the engine that is being driven by the crankshaft. It is creating pressure by pumping oil throughout the engine. Most will achieve around 40 to 50 lbs. If there is a problem with any of the lines or gaskets in the system, it will leak when there is pressure. Try to locate the leak by washing the area that's leaking and watch it as someone turns the engine over. Most leaks of this sort aren't too hard to fix.

Engine oil over fill where will it leak?
If you have over filled your engine oil, it will not "leak" unless you have completely filled the engine with oil and is pouring out where you put it in. However overfilling even as much as little as 1 quart can lead to catostophic engine damage as the crankshaft will spin into the oil in the pan causing it to foam and cause oil circulation problems throughout the engine leading to overheating and engine siezing.
Why would Engine coolant leak when starting engine?
if it only leaks during starting then thats really strange. but if you have a leak some where, then when you turn engine over it will turn water pump that will pressurize engine. if it leaks while running the engine then be careful and try to find source of the leak, it is most likely a bad seal, having bad seals is really really bad, it could leak into oil, not good for lubrication, find the source of your leak, or if its small enough leak, then put some stop leak threw it i wouldnt trust it farther than you can throw it, but if it works then i would suggest replacing all of your coolant to be on the safe side
