Default Ran up a curb...

I feel like an idiot.. So made a turn too fast and ran my sc300 up the curb slowed down a bit before hitting the curb the alignment is really off but i was able to drive home. When I got home i checked under the car and it was leaking oil. Can this be that I effed up my Oil pan gasket? Or worse... How easy it is to fix? its a 93 sc300
thanks

Well what did ya go and do that for! Just kidding. I doubt it's your GASKET, but more likely the actual oil pan itself. you might have cracked it, and with the engine running, the built up oil pressure is causing the leak. Jack the car up, get under there with some brake clean and clean off all the excess oil. Then start the car and crawl back underneath and see where the oil is coming from. Just please make sure your car is stable on the jack stands. chock the wheels if need be.
