Default car died in 2nd gear

i was coming back home tonite and my gsr was in 2nd gear coming to a stop sign going about 5-10 mph it started to stall out and die. i pulled over onto the shoulder and tried to start my car up again it turned a couple times but engine sounded like it started an idle for half a second before it died again. i tried a couple more times and never started up but just a little shudder from the engine. i waited like 5 min w/the car off...tried again and it started up. so i went to the gas station i was near empty and checked my oil....no oil at all reading on the dipstick...maybe i could be burning oil? and no compression out of cyl#2. wat could it be? im thinking oil

summary: NO oil? NO compression on cyl 2?

now when you say NO compression do you mean very low or does it not get a reading?
make sure the tester is completley sealed too man. cause if it is you have a severe problem.
change your oil ASAP check for leaks when you put the new oil in.
