Cars with external csc would normally last much longer.
The seals fail, I think partly because of the cheesy thin plastic and high pressure causing the part to flex. I'm pretty sure stomping the clutch to the floor on every shift is going to cause the seals to fail prematurely, but I'm not a mechanic.

I initiate drifts by clutch kicking all day long . Think I'm in danger of having CSC failure?

Nah, you'll total the car way before the CSC fails.

On topic: It's kind of looking like we need a CSC failure sub-forum lately.

if ure easy on it, im sure it can last 100K.

i would stay away from rapid pumping of the clutch even while doing the ranger method. my clutch started to squeak after the 2nd cycle. once it cooled down (?) no more noise. felt the same throughout though, and no loss off fluid.

personally im not worried at all.
