Avensis fuel leak

[Pete W]

Hi, i have a 2000 avensis, with 1AZFSE engine, and have a fuel leak somewhere at back of engine. It is worse first thing in the morning, when it drips out at quite a fast rate. As the engine warms it gets less, and when hot doesn't leak at all. Have had it up on ramp, but can't seem to find where it is coming from. Any ideas anyone please.

Your car has a high pressure pump due to the direct injection system. 

Here is a link: http://www.japan-parts.eu/toyota/eu/2001/avensis/azt220r-aemehw/3_273540_071_/tool-engine-fuel/2211_fuel-injection-system#23100X

I wonder if the cold start fueling is leaking? That is what you are describing.

It's the best I could find.

Thanks for the reply, will have a look at it, going to take it in to mechanic, and let him have a look, it's very strange though
