Default Having a problem with my 92 Civic. Need help.

I have a 92' Honda Civic. Recently I noticed white smoke coming from my exhaust and whenever my car is idling it shakes really bad. Now I am sealing my head gasket tomorrow because I have a small oil leak coming from that. But I checked all my fluids and everything is full and running nice. I have been losing coolant and not sure why because I just replaced it. So I thought that was it but it wasn't because I added coolant and it still does it. I checked my motor mounts and they look good. I am not sure where this is coming from so if someone could help me or give me some advice on where to look I would appreciate it.

Ok I will check that out tomorrow when my buddy comes over to seal the head. I mean I know basics about cars but I am no mechanic and this is my first Honda. But I will tell my buddy and we will check it out. So if something is crack just replace it? But what if nothing is cracked what else could be the problem.

check all the coolant hoses and your radiator for cracks/ leaks. cuz that's most likely where all your coolant is going

edit: when you say "still does IT" does it refer to you losing coolant? if so my post is relevant

I meant still does it as the shaking and white smoke. Because I thought it was shaking and the white smoke was because I was low on fluids so I added fluids and I still get shaking and white smoke.
