Just bought my first impala a 2000 3.8 ls. Now for the issues...

Heater sometimes comes on when car is off?
Seem to have a leak believe it is motor oil hoping I can just tighten oil pan? Dad mentioned this/

other than that the car has 113000 miles its been 5000 since the last oil change so I'm assuming I need to do that asap. Car fax only went to 100000 so I am not sure the 100000 mile service was done etc

Any help with the above and suggestions for the future are appreciated
