I've never seen any JDM repair manuals, ever.

Use the 93 USDM manual. The only difference is that some things like the steering column and brake system are swapped.

Start by first cleaning off the motor underneath by using some sort of degreaser. Then start the car up and see if you notice any oil dripping on the ground. Then trace back to where it's dripping from.

Some common places:

* turbo oil return lines
* oil pan
* oil banjo bolts
* front cover
