Hi,
When you say it leaks oil, are you referring to engine oil or transmission fluid? Transmission fluid will have a redish color. I attached a pic so you can see the color of it.
Let me know. Also, let me know if you have identified where the leak is located.
take care,
Joe

Yes, it is the transmission fluid and it leaks between the gearbox and engine.

Hi,
Once the fluid gets low enough in the transmission, the car won't move. I would not drive it this way or you will damage the transmission.
If it is leaking between the engine and transmission, first, confirm that it isn't a steel transmission cooling line that is the cause. If it isn't, then suspect the front seal on the transmission front pump.
Please understand that this vehicle isn't offered in the US, so I don't have specific technical information related to it. However, they all work primarily the same, so I will try my best to help.
Let me know if you have other questions.
Take care,
Joe
