Default transmission oil leak

Okay, So I get home last night from work and pop it into reverse and try to back into the drive way and hmmm nothing? put it back in drive and I go forward back to reverse and nothing?? I go back to drive again and this time nothing! So now it wont go in either direction, so I turn the thing off get out and there is gallons of tranny fluid pouring out under the car and a trail all the way down the street where I came from. Long story short the dealer arranges to get it towed to them last night, today they tell me a clamp came loose on one of the lines?? and has been repaired and detailed and the engine compartment completely cleaned. Mind you it has 504 miles on it. Are faulty hoses or clamps a common issue with Volvo?

At that few miles, I'd hope it was just a fluke...any concerns about the tranny with the fluid loss?

The dealer says no, it still had fluid in there just not enough to work and it leaked out quite rapidly so I really never drove any distance with the fluid low. Everything seems okay now and they did as they said I cant find any oil residue left behind they did a great job of cleaning it up.
