On the grounds they got close enough to glide to the airfield I would say without doubt had the leak been detected earlier they would have landed on one engine.
However, here is the real question, would they have made it on a 180 minute flight plan at the ETP with minimum fuel required? Which ever way you look at this incident they were very lucky! A very nasty position to find yourself in over the Atlantic.
