Shakes or Wobbles problem
2000 Oldsmobile Alero 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

this metal hose is close to the back of the engine, I checked the 3 front spark plugs and showed white creamish inside the plug itself. There is also a gassy smell in the engine oil resevior. And I noticwe that it burns or disappears antifreeze. Please I need some help to determine this problem. Oh yes and we did the diagnostics test on it and said cylinder 1 misfire, but my mom did this test and didnt know how to use the machine, and she accidently erased the info on the car computer.

Sounds like you have a blown head gasket, in the vacinity of the cylinger one, which means the gasket has failed in that area, in the mean time, make sure that coolant is topped off at all times, I dont care if you have to check it everytime you stop, because you can cause much bigger problems, just untill you get it fixed.
