i drove into a flooded street. the car stalled. i tried to start it, when nothing happened, i left it alone til the water in the street went down. i was able to start it after a few cranks. i waited about ten minutes in between each crank. so it started, and then i drove the 1.5 miles home . by this time it was raining hard again and i couldnt hear how terrible the motor sounded. so it sat overnight and the next morning it sounded terrible.
it appears i have an oil leak too which i'm not sure was related. i put 2 quarts in. on the 3rd quart it started to leak out. so it has been towed and is getting looked at.
should i expect to use this vehicle anymore ? any hope ?

Should have it looked at as if engine sound very noisy and you have all kinds of leaks

will not be surprise if engine is bad
