Hello, I just got this 1995 nissan sentra from my uncle for free. The thing is that the car has been sitting on the garage because it got water in the engine oil. I want to know what I need to fix to make it run. And if its hard to fix my self. Can you tell me what parts I need to fix and about how much money to expect on wasting. Thank you

1st thing to do here you need to find out how the water got in there-fill the radiator up to the opening and crank engine over is it gushing water out, also remove all the sparkplugs and crank engine over again is water coming out.

Your possibilities here could be a headgasket, cracked head or block and intake leak-If you wish you can have it block and pressure test it
