i dont know much on cars but my mechanic told me that the oil will leak into the water which causes the water to look milky. It will also cause the car run hot. if it was a cracked head then the water will be in the oil.
how to replace a distributor gasket on a 2000 Pontiac grand am 3.4l
Between the head and the block. First, remove intake manifold and exhaust manifold. Take the valve cover off and unbolt the head. Then, pull the head off and you'll see the gasket.
I have a 2002 Pontiac Gramd Am and its in the shop right now getting the Intake Manifold Gasket fixed on it! Its about $2000 with labor costs and everything! Rediculous! Its supposidly VERY common in these vehicles....They should do a re-call!
It is located behind the timing chain cover under the exhaust manifold.
For the upper intake manifold bolt on a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am, apply 25 N·m 18 lb. ft toque. It is best to have a reputable repair manual on hand to double check your specs.

my grand am had an engine knocking noise. it was the intake manifold gasket was going bad. it was leaking coolant into my oil. look at your oil to see if it is a white milky color. if it is then you need a new manifold gasket which sucks. it takes a long time to do by yourself. or you can take it to a place that charges you $1000 to do. but if you can. do it yourself
I was having a problem with my intake manifold gasket on my 2003 Pontiac grand am and i took it to a shop it was 600 dollars parts and labor you can get it much cheaper i just chose a mechanic i could trust. now it may not be intake manifold gasket the best way to tell is to lift your oil cap look at the backside of it and if there is a blueish tint liquid on the cap then your getting condensation which means bad intake gasket. But it can also be your thermostat housing messing up which would be much cheaper.
