When my turtle is baskking i can see like fat hanging down from out of her left leg shell hole. but not as much hangs out on the other side. Does this mean anything? just the way she is laying?

How old is she? Older turtles do get "stretched out" in front of their rear legs. It'll look just like a pouch of loose skin.
That's also one of the places that shows the extra fat when your turtle is overweight.
If you can post a pic, it would be helpful.
