Engine Oil Leaking Problems of Dodge Avenger

I was driving on the highway at about 55 mph then suddenly my car stalled. My car shut completely off. I saw that there was a recall for this but it was for the smaller engine which does not include my engine. I just took my car to the dealer and he said their was an oil pressure problem which caused the oil housing to leak.

Oil is pooling under the oil filter/oil cooler assembly. I understand from other owners online (youtube, Avenger forum) that this is a common problem. For oil to leak from the cooler whose seals may be bad. Additionally, I have what sounds like a rocker arm (at least one) that is worn, probably from the lack of sufficient oil due to this leak. I discovered the pooling with the car parked, engine idling, and trying to find the clacking/tacking/tipping noise which feels (vibrations) like it might be in the left bank of the v6 engine. Both problems reported as typical online as noted for the pentastar 3. 6l v6 which I have. Tapping has been going on since March 2020 at least. I did a second oil change (previous in February) to determine if that would help. No.
