Unlikely due to oil leak alone (is oil warning light on?). More likely the oil leak is a symptom of a different problem. Have you checked error codes?

I would consider taking your car to a speciallist or dealer to have it examined, sounds as though you could have multiple issues which could cost you alot if you dont get it fixed soon

Well 4k is limp mode, no boost either, best to get it fixed, have you had a recent cambelt replacement?
