These are two separate problems.
The beater is probably being held on by dried/solidified flour. Try keeping the section where the beater joins the mixer head wet with water to loosen up the dried "glue." (Give it some time.)
The oil leak is caused by the grease separating. You can try running the mixer on high for a few minutes to re-mix the grease. If this does not correct things, you will need to clean out the old grease from the gearcase and replace it with new. See the Service Manual at:

TRY REPLACING GREASE IN GEARBOX AND MAKE SURE YOUR FELT COVER IS IN PLACE (AND CLEAN) THAT SITS UNDER GEARBOX.
