What would cause a car to lose large amounts of oil and coolant at the same time?
Cars do not burn coolant per say as cars burn gas. What makes your car use or go through a lot of coolant is if you have a leak someplace in the hoses, radiator system, radiator cap, freeze out plug, or too much straight water will make it run hotter. Is this car heating up? Are you adding straight water every time? It also could be a blown head gasket, but then it would be so hot the engine would stop and seize up. Can you smell it? If it smells like antifreeze but you don't see any tell tail signs of water leaking, then I would first check all water hoses for a pin hole. Look over your radiator real good and use a good bright flash light even in the daylight, you will be surprised what you can see. look for water stains (colored) green or white or even rust color. This would be a leak or a old one.

Your Chevy pickup is using a lot of coolant Is this a problem What could this be caused from?
Losing a lot of coolant can be a serious problem if you don;t keep an eye on the coolant level. Low or no coolant will cause the engine to overheat and cause some serious damage. If the vehicle is not blowing white smoke (steam) out through the exhaust (a sign of blown head gasket or cracked cylinder head); if the radiator or radiator hose(s) are not leaking; if the water pump is not weeping (a sign that the water pump is bad); and all clamps are tight, the problem may be that the radiator pressure cap needs to be replaced. answer just adding to what was said above. if the coolant isn't leaking anywhere (check the groung under the truck in the morning) then the 1st place you should be looking is your oil, i.e. blown head gasket. pull the dipstick to note the color of the oil. if the gasket is blown and the coolant is leaking into the oil you will see a milky brown colored sludge on the dip, kind of like creamed coffee instead of the normal black/dark brown color. otherwise, leaking coolant is mainly a problem if you don't keep the system topped off. let it get too low and you will overheat the engine. then you will have real problems. either way you should find the leak and fix it.
