It Could Be Any Of The Three.Remove The Head, Have It Tested. After Checking Gasket. The Head May Be Warped From Overheating And Normal Use. If The Head Gasket Is OK. I Suggest To Have The Head Tested. But The Block Could Be Cracked. If The Car Has An Aluminum Head As Most Do It Probably Is The Head Is Cracked. Heck Run It By A Good Radiator Shop And Have It Tested Under Pressure. See What They Suggest. Sorry To Be Of Such Little Help. My Bet Head. Best To You

What would cause water in the oil?
Water contaminated oil will be white and milky. Oil that is very thin and light coloured could be caused by fuel contamination.
Coolant leak somewhere on your 1996 Pontiac grand am you have been told by mechanics that the block was cracked or the intake manifold gasket was shot but no coolant in oil and car runs ok ad water?
there wouldn't be any coolant in the oil if your intake manifold gasket is shot. so its the gasket. A cracked block or cylinder head would render the motor unstartable, so that's a lie from the mechanic. Find a different one you can trust.
If an oil-water mix is flowing out of the dipstick would it be caused by a head gasket or rings?
It would most likely be the head gasket as there is water in the oil. The rings would lose compression. Probably head gasket or cracked head or block. Most likely the head gasket. For sure not the rings. If you have aluminum head and the engine has been overheated, then a cracked head is likely. Also there are some weird engines are out there. IE some of the GM Quad Four engines have a water pump that is driven by the timing chain. If the seal goes bad in that pump, then water will leak directly into the engine. btw, that particular water pump is probably the worst and hardest water pump replacement job known to cars. Good Luck Rick

It will leak coolant just like it did before you installed a new gasket and you would have wasted time and money as you will have to take it apart again and replace not only the gasket but that cracked head.
