Default White smoke and car shaking

My car's temp reached H and I turned it off and took a look and my redaitor was leaking water!
latter on when it got cooled I added some water to the redaitor took it to a garage (1 km distance) when I fixed my redaitor and drove the car the car was shaking and the rpm was droped to 200 maybe i tured of the car and started it again and nothing have changed, later on I checked if the spark plugs are working but as soon as I pulled the spark boot the engine turned off !!!

after that My friends told me that there is a huge white smoke coming out of the catback with some oil in the cat !!

some of them told me that it might be the head gasket or the ring piston, so what do you guys think ?!

Probably your headgasket, do a leakdown test to confirm

head gasket def.

And don't tell me you pulled out the spark plug with the engine running, because it sounds like you did.

I didnt pull out the spark plug, I pulled out the boot !
when i pulled the 1st one the car turned off so i replaced it and after i started the car again i checked pulling the 3rd boot and the car turned off again !!

You at least have a blown head gasket if not a warped/cracked head.

There is water getting into places where water is not supposed to be.

You have white smoke because your car is burning water.

You should fix the problem before you replace the spark plugs because you will ruin the new ones.
