1991 Nissan Pick up Truck mileage: 70,000. On my way home today my transmission started to slip and within 1/2 mile, I had lost all power. The engine sounds fine, but the vehicle acted like it was in neutral. I coasted home and found transmission oil all over the ground. Does this mean my transmission has been totally ruined or is there a chance that something minor such as a hose etc. has gone bad? As you can tell, I'm no expert on cars.

There is a chance your transmission is not damaged. Refill the transmission with fluid and then determine where the fluid is leaking and repair the leak. Test-drive the truck and check for proper operation. If you are lucky, this will solve your problem. If not, you are in for a transmission overhaul.
