Default worn rings???

i just did a leak down test and air is escaping through the spark plug hole in cylinder 3 and 4-
could this mean a broken headgasket or rings??
car smokes white sometimes and oil is leaking from the headgasket-i do have to fill oil and coolant every other day-no mixture between them though
what do you think
