Fluid disappearing..??

Well I havent owned the fc for that long, but from what i see, it seems like the oil pan gasket is seeping a little or what not but I havent seen any puddles, the car has no omp, carbed and running premix. I did my oil change about 500 miles ago and i lost a quarter of the dipstick cross hatch area, no clue where it went, hard to tell with premix exhaust too... so dont know if any is in the combustion chamber.. and the other fluid disappearing is the antifreeze, pressure tested and everything and holds pressure fine, but i lose about i would say 1 cup to 1 1/2 cup every 1-2 weeks depending on driving, but i usually top it off every in between fillups (gas).. I really havent a clue where I am actaully losing the fluid. Especially the antifreeze, oil... maybe when i redline the car a little more spews out of my gasket... i dont know... anyone have a clue, and sorry my English sucks and poor grammar.

yes, I do know topics like these are covered a million times, but i really dont want to rip the engine apart to look -=P daily driven....

and as i searched i found out the oil pan gasket is a pita to do... might do it with motor mounts... one day... ... yeah....

and i do not believe i am burning the antifreeze, no apparent signs of that...

only time my car makes a smoke screen is when i push it to redline, probably shooots fire too... smells like a overly rich condition... holley carb with custom home made manifold off lower intake... getting a manifold soon if everything goes alright..

thanks in advance for any help, much is appreciated.. yeah i got the car to learn about carbs and rotary... i dont see that often enough in my shop that I work at...
actually i dont see rotaries at all but i see carbs but i rarely work on them.

again thanks.
