Because it is a used car, Ohio's lemon law does not apply. That doesn't mean you're out of luck though. It is possible that they breached Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act (CSPA) by misrepresenting to you the cause of the oil leak when they knew that they had patched it earlier. If that's the case, you could recover your actual damages times three plus your reasonably incurred attorney fees.
