If its only a weekend, I woukdnt worry about it. You'll still have enough oil in there to prevent any damage

It should still have a good litre in there or so, assuming its only leaking from the driveshaft seals, ive ran gearboxes on worse lol

Yeah, BE3s are pretty much indestructible... I used to run mine on used engine oil, and it was half filled...

Still going today happily with no noises.

I wonder how that used motor oil got in there Ruan Tongue

As already said it will only run out as far as shaft level, which is more than enough to keep the tranny happy, but still get them changed / filled up properly when you get chance for peace of mind!
