Default 2000 V40 1.9T Headlight Wiper Blades Staying Up

I just bought this car on Monday from a private party. The car seems to be in great condition. The person who I bought if from detailed a few problems before buying and so the reason for my post is I'm hoping someone who knows a lot about this vehicle can help me determine the best way of handling these repairs and issues.

Known Problems Before buying the car:

1. Airbag light is on.
2. There is an oil leak that seems to come from some kind of return valve.. or maybe oil pan gasket.
3. Alignment doesn't stay true for long. (could it use new bolts)
4. Clunking noise from the front suspension when going over bumps...thought to be struts.

Problems That Came Up After I Bought The Car:

1 Wiper blades on front lights stay up for a while after use and decompress at different times...but eventually go down.
2. Wheel bearing front left (saftey & emmisions guy said it was bad)
3. Last night a grinding dragging sound from the front left and noticable but not harsh pulling to the left (wheel bearing?)
