Helpful Expert Reply:
It really is hard to say, your best bet would be to repair the line if you have not already. Fill the transmission up with the appropriate amount of fluid and then take it to a transmission repair shop to have them check it out.
Hopefully you get lucky, but there could be a wide range of potential internal problems depending on how long the vehicle was attempted to be driven and the temperature of the transmission.
