look for wet areas on lines at the o ring fittings.
I'm assuming your grand am has a 3400 v6 which are known for intake and head gaskets leaking. so its possible that one of those gaskets are leaking so bad that coolant is leaking from intake/heads down onto your valvetrain and then down into your oil pan. more than likely its your intake gaskets leaking.
My first guess would be you are low on freon.
Would have been built for R12, can be converted to R134a.
I would check the hoses leading into your radiator, and also the overflow for antifreeze. If that is not the problem, it could be your heater core. Your heater core might be leaking, you might have a hose leaking
I dought it is the a/c leaking there, It is probably a leak in the cowl or windshield. Get inside with a flash light and have someone spray the out side with a hose and see where it is comming in. if it is leaking antifreeze it is a bad heater core
Freon is the trade name for R12. Your car contains R134 or R134a which is not Freon.
Probably leaking freon.
most likely water pump
R134a

It would be a good thing to see where it is leaking from....
I had that problem too. when I checked my freon, it was low so I recharged it and was able to get cold air back on drivers side. then a month later, the seal went out on my AC compressor. So I would guess your freon is low and AC compressor is (or is about to) start leaking
the value to load the freon for a 1997 grand am is under the engine you would have to lift the front of car up and you should see the value on the right passenger side
Yes it would and it would cause the a/c not to cool and even worse it can cause damage to the a/c unit as well.........
could be a locked up compresser or clutch
Heater core leaking.
This could be numerous factors, however, the most likely of factors would be either the TP valve leaking or the hot water heater irtself is leaking (burst).
