Penetrating fluid + spark plug = smoke and HELP!?



  MK2 Clio
Hey guys,

Tried to change the spark plugs on my 13 year old Clio grande. The previous owner clearly never gave a toss about the wee car and it shows!
Trying to change the plugs today and they were basically welded to the head, so me in all my genius decided to use penetrating fluid on 'em
see if i could loosen them up a little. no success. Dried off what i could of the fluid and replaces the HT leads.

However, The plugs and the ht leads now have white smoke coming off em after even 5 minutes of driving.

Is this safe to drive or am i about to cause my little car and my wallet big pains?
