okay so my check engine light came on the other day took the car to AutoZone it showed the code p0303 cylinder 3 misfire. The next day drove the car for thanksgiving on the way to dinner a hose busted under the hood dumping the antifreeze and overheating the car. Anyways I replace the hose, check engine light went off car drove fine didn't seem to have an issue. Then Saturday drove 40 minutes north then back just fine before I got home I stopped at the bank and there was smoke coming out under the hood similar to where I replaced the hose. The check engine light came back on this time it was blinking. I replace the thermostat and the plugs the light seems to blink sometimes and stay solid sometimes. This time the codes were p0300, p0302,p0303,and p0705. I am stuck here trying to figure this out. It doesn't show any obvious signs of a head gasket but I'm not sure where to look?

Post pictures where you see smoke coming from. Fix any coolant leak you find.

Also replace the plugs, plugs wires, cap, and rotor. Then go from there.

Recheck this code: P0705. Is it actually P0715?

okay so i cant figure out how to upload the pic the leak/smoke seemed to be coming from around the thermostat area. the u shaped hose is the one i replaced also. the car has been idling a little rough at times also. and that code says p0705 for sure not sure if the guy at autozone put it in wrong or what but thats what i got. all noticable leaks have nbeen fixed.

You will find instructions for posting pictures in the Rules sticky.

You can jump the service connector to pull both CEL and transmission codes - see Codes sticky.

also distributor is brand new as the cap and rotor. my upper radiator hose broke about a week ago is it possible antifreeze could have worked its way in the distributor since it sits right next to it?

Could be. Open it up to see.

this all started after I replaced the radiator cap the seal was torn up so I put a new one on and all hell broke loose

How hot did your car get? My last engine got really hot and ended up warping the head. It leaked like hell.
