possible engine damage after spin out on track

well trackday ended in 15 minutes for me at 150kp in ramshoek assen tt i suddenly lost traction hit a some tyres(minor damage lip and underpanel etc)
but the cause for that was a massive oil leak coming from behind the crankpulley i think the seal blew out cause timing belt is intact but completely wet(didnt check the timing marks but it still had tension)
no hole in block,
out of shock i tried to start the engine it turned but smoked(oil most likely everything was warm)
oil level is at minimum with the infinite evo oil pan

the car was off when i ended in the grass if timing didnt jump is the engine ok?

start from the base settings and work from there. pull plugs, check cylinders, drain oil and refill. verify timing is still in time. check front seal. go from there
