1. DON'T drive the car until you verify that there is oil in the transmission. If it is empty that could account for the noise. You may be damaging the bearings.

2. Take pictures of the area(s) where the three bolts are missing and post them; that will make it easier to figure out what they are. Also take a picture of where you think the oil is leaking from.
