Smile big oil leak while engaging reverse gear

Hello everyone,

Soo...the TB is done and the car was running perfect until yesterday (the motor has only 120K, the car is able to reach the top speed indicated in my green book (la revue technique ) which is 150km/H. Not a single drop of oil. And yesterday my brother was parking the car, he engaged the reverse gear (maybe it has nothing to do with the problem but it still looks odd..) she lost , I'd say maybe 0.5 liter of oil. There is so much oil. We pressed ignition several times, letting the mill running idle with some acceleration, nothing happened .

Also, when I plunge the oil stick , the indicator remains spotless! When I did the oil change, I put the exact same amount of oil that is indicated in the book. And i'm pretty sure I've never lost oil since yesterday . Is it possible that the oil gauge is not working..?

I'll take some pics of the suspicious spots on the engine.

Cheers
