NONE of this sounds like a transmission issue by your description so lets start from the beginning and ignore the fact that you have transmission fluid on the bottom of your car.
If this is a turbo, carefully inspect all the turbo hoses for holes (they ALWAYS happen on the bottom of hoses so use your hands) and to make sure they are still firmly connected.
It is is a non-turbo, tell us if it is Rex/Regina or a Bosch LH2.4/EZK car.
Pull the codes of the ECU and ICU. There are instructions in the FAQ's for this.
If there are no codes, disconnect the AMM with the key off. Start the car, does it it run better than it did before?
After that you have to do the diagnoses related to all the other loss of power. potential issues.
2-quarts, if that is all it is, if is a pretty common amount of loss for a leaky tailshaft bushing/seal. If you are a little more than a quart low, the pump can suck air an you will have wierd things happen with the tranny until such time as the air has been expelled but no real damage is done. at the very least give it another quart, cycle it through the gears, get it as a warm as possible without driving it, cycle it through the gears again and check the level using the "cold" side of the dipstick.
Now try to drive it. I will bet you a case of beer your tranny is nominally OK.
