Car not accelerating.

Hi guys, I am currently on a road trip and I am having some issues with my M3 that I think may be due to a mistake I made. I am not yet able to tell if I did not screw the filler cap on the DCT tight enough, and I have a hunch that my transmission may be leaking fluid. Is it possible that the DCT fluid has dropped so low that I am not getting enough torque to apply to they road? Normally I am able to spend tires when taking off on an on ramp, but when I accelerating and taking off now, the torque is just not there and the car is feeling underpowered. There are no warning lights currently on the dash.

Its 9 liter in total in the DCT and from what I understand a good couple of liters needs to come out before it start generate issues. Surely you'd notice that? Find it hard to believe that your power issue has anything to do with the DCT.
