Default burnout gone bad

Yeah i know it was kinda stupid but i figured itd be kinda fun i celebrated gettin new tires by doin a burn out with my old ones. Everything was goin good i shut it down after a lil bit then i came to a stop and all of the sudden the infamous "check Engine" light came on. I turned the car off then on again. now i can hear a reallly faint whisle. i have no idea what it is gona check it out in the mornin when i got some light.

The whisle could posibly be a vacuum leak. check all your vacuum lines and intake connections

hmm deffinatly not a good sign, dont have a lot of time now to check it out. well ne way, i got up this mornin to go start it before i head to physics. i start it up lookin for that light but it didnt come on so i kinda got happy for a few seconds then the "Low Oil" light comes on.. so i shut the car off, sure enough ther is a black spot under the car. hopefully later on i can take a better look see what my damages are..
