I surmise that because you still have the drain plug to add new oil and/or notice that the bolt gasket is cracked/uneven, so you must have found it where the tractor was parked.
On the other hand if it fell out while you were mowing, the tractor was likely run without oil for a lot more than the 20 feet/1 minute you are suggesting.

I know that it wasn't leaking before, be able I checked it before I started mowing and it was full. Plus, there was no oil on the shield when I pulled the grass off.
I know the majority of the oil leaked out where it was parked, because the next day I found a big oil mess I n the gravel driveway.
There isn't a lot if run time on it, the backyard only takes me about 20-25 minutes to mow.
