My 98 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP is leaving parallel (front-to-back where the tires are) yellow-orangish stains in my driveway. I can't find any leaks.

I don't want to try to remove them until I find the cause. The rockers do have some rust but I'm not sure if this could cause stains. I live in an apartment so I have to find a solution. Any help would be appreciated.

Sure sounds like rusty rocker panels.When it rains water at the windshield drains into the rockers and out along the bottom of the rocker panels.If they are showing rust on the outside they are rusted on the inside.

    There is no rust on the outside but last fall when I took it in my mechanic said it was rusty underneath. I will call him and see if anything can be done but I do not want to put much money in a 20 yr. old car.

    Have the vehicle oil sprayed with an vegetable oil based rust protection (Rust Check,Krown, etc) and make sure they also inject it into the rockers,that will slow the rust.DO NOT use a hard coating type product for rust protection.

My 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP has an oil leak located on the firewall side of the engine. It's a small leak (2-3 drops a day) but very messy on my concrete driveway. How can I fix it?

Try some motor honey. It can be bought at most part stores, advanced auto, autozone, ect. It worked for my 95 Grand Am when I had a leak in my oil pan gasket. Hope this helps
