Sudden Oil Leak on my Evo

Guys, need your help.

My oil suddenly leaked. A lot of black oil under my car. What could be the problem? What do i check first and what are my next steps? I didnt notice till I got to my parking space. : (

Does this mean serious damage to my engine? What could be the worst case?

Thanks.

How much oil are we talking here? Is it below the add mark on the stick? How fast is it coming out? General area of leak, left, right, top, bottom?

Sounds like residue oil from the turbo. Try to do a search for Oil catch can, this may help.
