If you just want to top it up to get you home then any 80w or 90w gearbox oil will be Ok as the box holds close to 1 litre and if it's only a little leak, the small amount you are adding won't significantly change the overall make-up of the oil. To match the original spec' you want one with a GL5 rating.

....and don't be tempted to overfill to allow for future leakage, this will increase the leak/blow a seal.
