When i did my last drift, My car started drifting uncontrolably i got it back on track when to go park.. I found out my car was leaking oil.. i was leaking real bad.. It emptyed my whole car.. It came from the Left side if you are standing in front of your car.. Any Thoughts?

Im hoping not a cracked block... Maybe oil can/hoses? or seals?

I would say it's probably a line. Fill it back up crawl under and have someone crank it up. You should be able to see where it's leaking pretty easily.

clean it up and check back in a few days to see where there's oil leaking from. Probably the side of the oil pan if it drained almost your entire supply of oil. probably not the turbo side since that's on the right side relative to where you're at. So I'd suspect the seal at the oil pan. But check it out.

Could be valve cover gasket, mine is broken and i have oil leaking from left side as well, its not as much but a very small amount of the gasket is broken and considering its size leaks quite a bit of oil.

Your right. I didn't catch the "standing in front of the car".

Chances are if you had a cracked block you wouldnt have finished your last drift.
