Will oil be leaking from your car if your head gaskets are blown like in your driveway?

There are quite a few possibilities when the head gasket blows. In one scenario the exhaust gases will leak into the crankcase causing elevated pressure and the pressurized exhaust gas will take oil vapor out through the main bearing seals since the main bearing seals are not designed to operate under that kind of pressure.

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.
