There are a whole bunch of small lines that run to and from the radiator. Well, not a whole bunch, probably about 4 or 5, and they're all on the passenger side. Take your time and check those. Check your water pump, too. If it is bad it will "weep" from the bottom. Don't trash your GTA!
Intake manifold gasket, head gasket, freeze plugs, water temp switch, heater core, heater core lines, heater valve, warped head or block. Does it burn white smoke? Like the other guy said, if the water pump gets worn it'll start to leak thru the weep hole.

ok thanks for the tips. it doesnt blow white smoke when i run it so it shouldnt be a warped head. i was thinkin cracked block as a worst case senario but then i thought... would the engine even run if it was cracked? i just had a HUGE leak yesterday drivin to the beach. car temp guage said 260 degrees. i made it home but the car SEEMED to drive fine but i still tried to get home in a hurry. it was just pouring out yesterday so i think a hose might have blown or something? ill check these things, thanks.
