The first solution sounds like that might be the problem if you have trans fluid in the coolant reservoir. If you have oil in the coolant reservoir then this is normally caused when you have a crack in the intake manifold or if the gasket has gone bad. You can either pull the intake manifold off and replace the gasket and check for any cracks in the intake manifold. You may not see the crack. If you do find a crack in the manifold the best thing to do is replace it, change the gasket and then flush out the radiator.

The reason for this is because your trans cooler(which is built into the radiator itself) has failed and burst causing trans fluid to contaminate the cooling system.The fix for this is to remove and replace the radiator with a new one and then flush your cooling system to remove all trans fluid.I hope I could help!!! Any other questions please get back to me and rate me accordingly.

My 1999 pontiac grand prix gtp supercharger has been overheating and when i went to start it the next morning it is making a knocking nosie do you think the engine is blowen

You can check the oil to see if it has water in it if it does it will be milky looking and another thing you can check is the tail pipe and see if it is sucking back or has steam coming out of it.

98 grand prix 3.8 non-supercharge starts but wont stay running have to keep foot on gas pedal to stay running blows out white some trough the exhaust. no coolant in oil what is causing this

If it is blowing thick white smoke that is coolant. You can lose a head gasket in places where only coolant passages go through so you don't always get oil/coolant mixing when this happens. Take the radiator cap off and see if air bubbles through it. You can also try pulling the spark plugs to see if one or more looks really clean.

2000 Grand Prix GTP supercharger fluctuates when accelerating

There is no wastegate.

Change the spark plugs and pay special attention to the plug on bank 3. Look for physical damage on the electrode...cracked, bent etc.
Use Autolite 605's copper core gapped to .055" and NEVER run less than 92 octane.
