I believe you are seeing your Oxygen or 'O2' sensor. It measures the ratio of oxygen in the exhaust and sends the info to your car's computer while you are driving. If the O2 sensor is bad your car can run poorly. It is one of the more important sensors on you car.

You may have the problem of your intake manifold gaskets. They are a problems on the lumina. I had to have mine replaced due to the same thing. Also check if your coolant is mixing with your oil if it is. Than it is definitally your intake manifold gasket.
