Oldsmobile Alero Gas Problem

I have this car I just bought at an auction. I drove it home and when I got off the highway it started to over heat and i could smell antifreeze when I parked and got coolant it was leaking and when I put some in it would smoke (cold outside engine hot). The heater did not work and when I started it to drive it the rest of the way home it had a little buzzing sound but was not really overheating went to the line between the half way point and the "h" what could it be need to try to fix asap?

You either have a head gasket problem or intake gasket problem. Both are very expensive repairs
