Thank you Steve, I am not sure how the owner determined that the transmission was empty after the oil leak.

He mentioned that it developed a large leak where the engine and transmission meet, but the leak could come from somewhere else, I will be checking his car tonight and hopefully find that the leak is nothing serious..
