First your engine didn't leak transmission fluid your transmission did.If your car leaked out all the fluid and you didn't replace it your car won't move the transmission needs the fluid to be able to move.Fill up the transmission per specks for your car and check to see where it is leaking from.Don't drive it till it is repaired you can cause some serious damage.

whilst your transmission is in impartial, that's much less annoying to get extreme RPM because of the fact there is not any resistance from the kit field to slow the engine down. normally, this would possibly not reason any actual difficulty, see you later as this is not any longer prolonged. I in specific circumstances will positioned the vehicle in impartial or park and supply it finished throttle in short pulses on an identical time as doing maintenance on the engine. A screeching sound under those circumstances could be an illustration of a unfastened or worn fanbelt. this is invaluable to to have that looked at nonetheless.

What happened? It leaked.
Other than that, you will have to find out where it leaked from, nobody can tell you for sure without looking at it. If you can't tell yourself, then have a trusted local shop or the dealership service department look at it. I would recommend staying away from a transmission specialty shop, they have a tendency to oversell repairs and use scare tactics to get you to buy a replacement transmission.
It could be a bad seal, pan gasket leaking, or a bad hose going to the cooler.
A common problem is the trans oil cooler hoses leaking, so might look to see if they're oil soaked or if you can see any fluid dripping from them.

Based on your description and not being able to see it, test it and with no other info to go by, I would say that the cooler in your radiator is plugged. You have a couple options here. You could get an auxillery cooler and mount it to the front of your radiator and by-pass the radiator all together and fill the trany up with fluid and hope that you didnt permanently damage your trans (which would be the cheapest route). Or you could put in a new radiator and hope that you didnt damage the inside of your trany. If you choose option 1, make sure that you warm the vehicle up in neutral in the winter before driving it otherwise you could damage your trans. If I were you and it were my car first, pull the pan and see if there is any metal debris in the pan (trany), if its not bad, change fluid & filter and go w/ new radiator. If there is metal in pan and you want to get by for now, change fluid & filter and go with auxillary cooler.

that happened to me with a dodge neon and it was the tranny cooler that is inside the radiator. had that fixed for 200 and they said all was fine and six months later the whole tranny seized up . another repairman told me it was because i let them flush out the tranny which let old shavings get down in the gears and wrecked the tranny which cost another 2000 so get a good mechanic to fix it and dont try to drive it while its out of fluid. learn from my costly experience. good luck

I had a 01 Mercury cougar that did that and I was told it was because the transmission casing cracked.

the seal between the torque converter and the auto trans drive gear system output shaft was overheated or it just plain blew out from wear or over stressof the seal componet.
