Prior to purchasing a used 2015 dodge journey, the dealership informed me an oik leak was fixed, costing over $500. This was one reason thr sale price was firm. About 4 months later, i lost a ton of oil and only realized it when there was a slight engine knock and checked the level. Showed no oil. Come to find out the cause of the leak was the oil filter housing. Then to find out the oil filter housing removed was for a 2013 dodge Journey. This car was 2015 and they are not listed as compatable. Im guessing this was the work that occurred prior to me buying it.
Question is, is there anything I can do. Im sure there is some engine damage cause it knocks and sounds like crap. Seems to still run good at this time but engine knocks

Thanks
