Looks like a pan cant tell what it is This is where its leaking from i heard a noise and thought it was coming from my garage but saw a puddle on ground
First thing is to stop driving the car and get it towed. That is a large amount of oil and you do not want to ruin the engine or hydraulic system. It’s very clear you have a leak and it needs to be fixed asap. Did you start simple by opening the hood to see where it is coming from as it could provide some easier insight? What are the codes? What warning lights come up on the dash? Is the car sitting normal?

I check under hood no leak but the reservoir that hold the hydraulic fluid is empty i took more video this evening and whatever is under that pan is where the leak is coming from
It's your abc accumulator near the fuel pump. Replace all 4 of them if you haven't recently and get a abc flush and new filter. Should cost about $4000 with labor.
What whatever is in here is the cause of the leak!
These are the pictures of plastic cover, under this cover you have ABC hoses and fuel filter. That hoses are old and rusted, it's not too long too. My car stayed put, until I found a solution to change that little bit hose which was busted and all ABC oil was leaking out from it. I think I put here how I fixed it. I bought a $800 tool to do it though.
Its actually good news that whatever blew, it most likely blew everything to the outside. If the accumulator blows and throws metal and plastic inside the system, its a lot worse.
If you don't want to take down or lower your back subframe,you need to cut the crimp of blown hydraulic hose from the car end carefully with a Dremel tool don't mess the pipe inside, and unscrew the reverse flange end from valve body, FB1 or FB2, or maybe the third line goes under SP. Then put a new hose with the flange end, you have to cut that crimp also but its easier because it's out of the car now. Don't crimp the new one yet make sure it's adjusted to the valve body with a new hose. Then look at my picture, that is the way to crimp high pressure hose crimps under the car.
You are very blessed, that line is long but it is possible to get it out of under the vehicle. If you had one of the back side shocks and suspension tank hoses busted. You can't get those lines out without lowering rear subframe. This line can be fixed with a hydraulic shop.
Good move, replace all 4 hydraulic spheres. one on rear valve block, one on driver's side front, 2 big ones (same part number on these) for suspension. The smaller ones prevent damage to your lines from the ABC pump. If you don't replace those you will continue to have lines blow out.
Are those called pulsation dampers?i have a part in my garage it's half the size of the bulb on the valve block it's called return something I bought it for a reason awhile back and im wondering is that what connects to this end hose that was taken of can u provide the part numbers to all? I'll add that part number to part in garage later today
Yup, on looks kind of like an old lightbulb, one has a square piece of metal on it. You'll have to google since I don't remember the numbers, shouldn't be too bad.
I usually just google for threads other people have made that have good pictures. Some have nice full-car diagrams for the ABC system.
Also I forgot to mention in last post, there is one on the passenger side front where the 2 covered lines run under the engine/trans and connect to a metal thing, which has the dampener attached to it. it's like right behind the wheel.
Driver Door won't open all the way after line replacement
Question i had no problem with my driver's door sincei had this car the line replaced was on the driver's side from valve block to rear what would cause it to not open all the way?
