A leak could potential cause the issue you describe and still keep the engine from overheating. I would suggest having the cooling system pressure tested for leaks and having any leaks repaired.

apparently they are designed for cold temperatures, so the radiator fan will kick in really really late. But if your fan doesnt turn on at all either the fan doesnt work at all (power failure to fan, or fan malfuntion) or fan sensor switch is faulty.

if your engine is running hot and its not your radiator you probably need to burp it to get the air out from the hoses and radiator, that should take care of the overheating problem, if it doesnt pressure test your hoses and raiator you might have a collant leak creating hot spots

If a Pontiac 96 grand am is overheating where is the leak?

well if its overheating doesnt mean its leaking however if it is leaking look to see where its coming from check the side of the radiator ( left and right) check the upper and lower radiator hoses as well as the water pump which on a 2.2 liter is located on the lower back side behind the exhaust manifold on the 3.1 i believe its on the side if no leaks u could have a bad or weak water pump, frozen therostat or damaged radiator water pump thermostat and radiator on 3.1 your looking at maybe 8-900 water pump thermostat and radiator on 2.2 liter your looking at like 12-1300 because u need to do belt tensioner and timing chain on it plus mechanics hate this engine design very poor by Pontiac

If A 96 merc c200 is overheating it's not the gasket or the thermostat what shall I do?

Have you see the viscous in the fan??? Sometimes it doesnt engaged and the fan does not take the correct speed and the engine is overheating. Sometimes it can be fixed up, but when its sealed you have to buy a new one.
