The gasket could have gone bad. That would cause the fluid to escape, and possibly some residual moisture snuck in. Crack her open and take a look. If theres any surface rust, then thats probably whats holding it. Spray some WD40.

If you rode it with no fluid, youre looking at bucks.

oil could have leaked from an axel seal, running anything without oil can cause it to seize, gotta pull it apart.
