Does anyone know much about the Mercedes W203?

I discovered that the transmission oil pan has rusted through and leaked quite a bit of transmission fluid. Now, all of a sudden, the car won’t start.
Does anyone know if the leak could be causing the no-start issue, or if there might be something else going on that I’m unaware of?

I’ve taken it to a mechanic, but he can’t figure out why it won’t start. He also can’t put the car on a lift to replace the transmission oil pan because it won’t start.

If anyone has experience with the W203, I’d really appreciate your help. :)
