I have an old car (skoda ovtavia 98 1.8l) it kept losing oil and coolant for years so I just checked it every time and toped it off. Recently it seems it is “gaining” oil while coolant leaks faster than usual. I don’t see any kind of smoke at the exhaust. I just don’t think oil at that temperature is supposed to steam, water temps were fine, I didn’t even drove it hard.

Yes, not uncommon. As oil heats up, moisture trapped in it will steam off.
Sounds like head gasket might be leaking. Is the coolant mixing with the engine oil?
