It should be ok, just fill her back up. If he only ran it for 20sec there shouldn't be any harm.

Hopefully your trans will be ok.
Sounds like someone needs an apartment now though.

You should be good to go. Just keep an eye on it but don't turn in to a hypochondriac.

Have you spoken to a counselor about this irrational hatred you have for your transmission?

Hey im with ya on being pissed and nervous, I have a dr evil pure evil trans, and its been great but back in January, i backed out of my driveway, drove down the road to the end of the road to the stop sign and waited on traffic to turn, then went to go and the truck wouldn't move, just revved. I was like wtf, by now I had 4 cars behind me waiting to turn also. I got out the truck (mind you it was freezing outside) and there on the ground was a big puddle of red fluid, so I turned the truck off and let the cars pass around me, i popped the hood and sure enough my lower trans line on the radiator had popped off and fluid just running out of the line. I grabbed it and stuck it back on to keep it from leaking. I had no way to turn my truck around in the road so my dad came and using a tow strap pulled me in reverse (trans in neutral) back to house. Sure enough the line had popped off right when i left the house and leaked from my driveway to the stop sign (mostly downhill so i wasnt gassing it). Anyways I have since towed with it and had to problems and everything was ok but sure scared me.
