Angry Need Help with my 98 Honda Accord LX

My car started smoking a couple of days ago and I had to stop and check it at Auto Zone and they told me I didn't have no antifreeze so they put some in it. So I drove home thinking the problem was solved and I drove it again after letting it rest for a day. I drove across town and then it started smoking again. This time it wouldn't crank back up. I let it sat and then it finally cranked and I parked it around some other cars and left it and got it towed home. Yesterday I checked it and had someone take a look at it and we noticed I have a oil leak.Is that why it was smoking? And what do I do now.And how much will it cost to get it fix.Please help!

I moved this post to this Correct Asking forum for you..You had it in the wrong forum.. a oil leak will make it smoke also..from what I read, I would find someone who is a real Mechanic take a look at it...you could have a bad head gasket and that involves money to fix..

Check your motor oil and transmission fluid to see if there is any sign of oil mixed with antifreeze, sounds almost like a bad head gasket like Wheelbroker said but hopefully is just something small.
