Default Leaking sound after drifting

So earlier this evening i went out drifting. Probably a 30 minute run off and on. After a drift im driving and i hear what sounds like rocks kicking up into my wheel well towards the back. I stop and get out and i hear a dripping/ leaking sound while the car is stationary. The rock sound i can only hear when i drive but the leaking sound i hear when i get out and listen hard. My steering seems fine, transmission is good, and it drives just like usual but im afraid i have a leak of some sort. Nothing is dripping onto the ground besides the water from the AC but there is a lot of dripping noises and its making me very nervous. Does anybody know what this could be, i could use an answer ASAP.

Chunks of tires falling off the wheel wells? Otherwise I have no clue.

I thought maybe it was the strips in tires that get exposed as the tread wears down but i checked all the tires and nothing.

You obviously drift around the dock area at a defunct harbor. You use pallets as obstacles and you get critiqued by the locals who who hang around the harbor to fish in their spare time.

What's your problem? What you are insinuating is not even true, i cant tell if you are insulting me for drifting (completely unnecessary since all i asked was a simple question) or guessing i am a kid. Either way you are being an *******.

Are you a cop? You sound like a judgmental retard especially considering your ignorance and clear lack of information.

Got a couple of really nice and helpful community members here. You can rest easy with a clear conscious knowing you decided not to be a total ******* for once in your life. (:

Exhaust system cooling off? Gasoline levels equalizing between left and right sides of tank?

Guess what....I have zero experience drifting. \/ \/
