The flashing AT Oil Temp light is indicating that the transmission control module on-board diagnostics has found a fault.
The CEL on could be related to the transmission problem, or it could be for yet another problem, perhaps related to the engine.
The engine oil dipstick is notorious for being difficult to read -- there's lots of posts here about it and suggestions on how to get a reasonably good reading.
The oil leak could be from the pan oil drain plug, from the valve cover gaskets, from the "separator" plate at the back of the engine, from various seals etc. If you're losing a lot, especially something like 3 litres in a few hundred kms, find out where it's leaking because you could lose the engine if it's driven with too little oil.
The (!) and BATT lights coming on at the same time usually mean the alternator has stopped working. You were able to continue driving for a while on the battery, but there wasn't enough left in the battery to restart the car.
Sounds as if the car will need a fair amount of work to get it into some sort of reliable condition. Do some reading of the threads using the Search function to narrow down the information on individual symptoms. There's a lot of information already available here, and we'll all try to fill in any gaps in response to your questions.
