1997 Nissan Maxima 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 1997 nissan maixma and i'm having some serious issues. I'm trying to figure out if i have blew a head gasket, how i temporary stop an oil leak, and figure out why my car shakes and wobbles. My car tends to be smoking a lot but I dont know where its coming from. What are some of the normal causes for that? I know I have an oil leak but I don't know where its coming from. I dont have money to fix it right now. is there anything I can do to slow it down. And lastly, when I get up to about 55-60 my car starts to tremble. Why? And most of the time when I do over bumps and what nots in the road my car shakes and wobbles (a little off its path)... Why is that? Or what are some of the normal causes?

Oil leak
you have to check and find out where is it leaking is it
valve cover gasket oil pressure switch ‘front seal rear seal and so on
best way to go about finding the leak is to have the engine washed and clean
smoking is it smoking from under hood and if so it most likely related to the oil leak
shaking I would suspect and check tires and tire balance
