What colour is your coolant, is that going down?
The other liquid that is yellowy is brake / clutch fluid but that amount you would have no brakes and as you say it doesn't feel like oil. Hydraulic fluid smells a bit like cats urine.
Is it possible to run a day without AC to eliminate that?
What colour is your engine oil on the dipstick, if blackthen it cannot be sump oil. Manual gear box oil, but that tends to be brownish and if you have a drip that would be very unusual.
If its water based then it would tend to evaporate or drain away, but oil would leave a stain. Try a piece of cardboard weighted down in the right place or even a plastic tray to catch some.
A decent mechanic if he puts it on the lift when its hot and removes a couple of the small access panels should be able to suss it.
Japanese cars are no more susceptible to leaks (in fact probably less so) than any other country make.
Good luck and let the forum know the outcome.
