if i am correct there is 2 places for fluids and likely it is rooted now. dont drive it till you checked and filled to correct level. peteb_2 rebuilt one of them auto trans and posted that his had 2 places for oil. My renault diesel also has 2 places for gearbox oil with warnig sticker under bonnet to check both places

What year and what engine does it have! The diff is in front of the trans and holds around 750ml of gear oil, there will be two bungs, you will need a 17mm inhex and a decent power bar, take out the top one and see if theres any in there. The seal between the trans and diffs blow and the oils mix resulting in a stuffed trans, diff or both
