No way to know. Fix the line and refill the transmission. I'd suggest doing a drain and fill after driving it a bit. If the fluid is dark or smells burnt, plan on another d&f or two.

I bypassed the radiator lines and installed a small oil cooler. I added a gallon of ATF for now - probably needs more.

Now that the van can drive (pretty important!), I can eventually tackle other leaks.

You need to know the ATF level if you're going to drive it. You cant just dump a gallon in and go. Check your dipstick properly.

That's the only way ( I did that twice to 2 different odysseys). Make sure you fill it back up to about 3.75qt/4 Qt. The oil cooler account a bit more.

I know, I purchased two bottles. I ran out of daylight to check the level and add more. Will add the rest today.

Rather than guessing if you have enough or need to add more, check the fluid level properly. It's in your Owner's Manual:

The only thing wrong in the manual is the Z1 ATF recommendation. That was discontinued and replaced by DW-1.

Update -
Fortunately, I found no signs of damage to the transmission after a 2,000 mile road trip.
I checked the ATF level - it is filled properly, and hasn't been losing any more fluid since.

Thanks for the update.
Glad it worked out for you.
