Cvt Issues, low oil?

I have a question, as i posted before my R50 2003 CVT when shifting into Drive or Reverse will Stall out UNLESS GIVEN GAS THEN WILL CONTINUE FINE IN EITHER FORWARD OR REVERSE It just chatters and then stalls out. Like i posted yesterday i was getting the car ready to swap the tranny to a getrag 6 speed and looked under my cvt and i noticed that one of the oil pan screws is missing and i could see traces of fluid leak. I drained the oil and let it drain overnight and all it had this morning was about .8 of a gallon, even after i removed the filter and the oil pan. Do you guys think this is enough to cause the problem? should i put in the recommended 5 liters about 1.3 gallon in to see if it works properly?
