Maintenance/Repairs

Hi everyone, I own a 1996 Volvo 850, which due to financial reasons and many problems I had to let sit for about a year. Today I cranker her up and she started up like an old champ. The main reason I stopped driving her was because the oil started disappearing on me (on a 20 mile drive) then water started to appear in there too, not to mention the oil lamp coming on as well. Needless to say that there is some damage somewhere, I am just curious if you guys would have heard of something similar happening. The other thing happened today after starting her up and shutting the engine off. Curiously, the battery light and the oil lamps both faintly blink with the engine stopped. if I turn the engine back on, they both go off and stay off. I turn the engine off, and again they glow! any suggestions?

Thank you!
