I own a 1997 Nissan Sentra the main seal around the head gasket leaks causing oil to leak. Previous to this I owned a Nissan altima I think the year was 1993 that had the same problem. Also my air bag light constantly blinks ever since I bought it. The dealership said they couldn't do anything about it.
