What can cause the thermostat housing to crack or leak oil?
If the thermostat was not installed correctly, the housing can crack but it would leak engine coolant not oil.
Would a blown head gasket cause loss of compression?
It is possible but it depends on where the crack is. If the crack is from the combustion chamber out, such as through a coolant passage it can also suck in coolant/antifreeze and loose compression.

Why would heat turn to cold when you slow down on a 2002 Nissan sentra?
Check the radiator coolant level! When it is low, and RPMs decrease at low speeds or idle, the coolant isn't being circulated through the entire cooling system, such as the heater core! Be sure the engine is cool before opening the radiator cap and adding coolant! NEVER add coolant to a hot engine because it will crack the block or cause the head gasket to blow!

Why does the Heater only blows cold air when car is idle on my 2006 Impala?
check your coolant level in many models the heater core is in the highest position in the water jacket. It your coolant gets low many times a bubble migrates to the heater core, when you raise the rps or are driving around (same thing) the coolant rushes through the water jacket at a much higher speed warming the heater core produceing heat. The other option would be a lever or vacume actuated heater controlled valvel that is spring retun to close, A problem can arise if vacume driven if there is a leak or low vacume the valve will close completely or somewhat. Most likely its low coolant and if you have not adjusted it in a short ammount of time you will blow your head gasket or gaskets or crack your heads costing big money.
