I was driving my van when it just locked its rear wheels.I discovered the differential drain cock wasn't there and it had leaked out all the differential oil.Is there a good chance that when I refill it with the differential oil it will work just fine?

Sorry to say this but... Lack of lubrication in precision metal to metal parts spells most certain death. I highly doubt it will survive.
