Hmmm, have you checked all the other fluids? Brake fluid, power steer fluid? You could have dropped one of those that may not be as obvious straight away.

Had a look under the car at all? Maybe there are some tell tale signs of where it has dropped oil...

Front seal of the gearbox?

If that's the case then it's box out and reseal. No real biggy. As long as you didn't drive it too far after it dumped it's guts.

Would the blown hose have been one of the trans cooler lines running to the radiator or cooler?
