Do you see the coolant leaking on the motor? From the drivers side, you can inspect the intake manifold...unfortunately as good as this motor usually is...it is known for leaking at the intake manifold...and requires a new intake gasket...DO NOT USE dexcool after the replacement...many teams believe the dexcool is part of the problem...use the coolant that "For All Coolant Systems" is still the green anti-freeze...Hope this helps.

I have dexcool pooring from the bottom of my 2005 pontiac grand prixs a/c compressor? does the A/C compressor have rad fluid in it?

The dexcool isn't coming from the A/C compressor ! More then likely coming from the engine . No the A/C compressor doesn't have coolant in it , has refrigerant ! Sounds to me like your engine has a problem ! Your best bet would be to take it to a qualified repair shop !

WHAT TPE OF COOLENT DO I USE IN MY 2004 GRAND PRIX GT

DexCool. However, if you completely flush the entire coolant system clean, you can use whatever you want. GM recommends, and will only warranty the engine, DexCool as the coolant.

DexCool is only a few bucks more per gallon, and your car only hold about 2 gallons total. I just flushed my car and used Havoline brand DexCool. Just make sure whatever brand you buy, it say DexCool on it. And make sure that you either premix it to be 50/50 coolant/water, or buy the premixed stuff. Like I said, you'll need about 2 gallons of mixed 50/50 if you flushed the engine out.

The coolant leaked right out onto the ground, the pump is working

Those cars have big problems with the intake/intake gaskets leaking, and water pumps. When you find the leak, repair and flush with coolant other than dexcool as this is the source of most of the cooling issues on GM cars.
