hi i recently had the same problem too! on my l reg 'rolla if the leak is on the fuel pipe its easy you can do it yourself :) if not no clue how much it will cost,as diesel is a non combustible fuel its fairly safe, what i did was put cardboard under the car where the leak was coming from to locate exactly where it was,I ran the tank to low so i did'nt hav much fuel to drain off,here's the scary bit take a hack saw, a container to retreive surpless diesel, and cut out the offending part of the pipe out, But be carefull not to catch any other pipes use a piece of metal or any thing else what will protect them,take the offending piece of pipe to your local motor spare shop(it would be a good idea to check if they do rubber pipe first before you embark on this diy adventer)any way take the pipe to the motor spare shop they'll measure it and give you a matching length a piece of rubber pipe, don't forget to buy the jubilee clips to re-attatch each end of the fuel pipes once you've done that take the diesel you have collected (it would be a good idea to fill your spare diesel can up)and put it back into your filler cap(i use a glossy mag roll it up into a cone and put that in so you can pour without any spillages)refill the diesel from the container then top up with your diesel can if every thing has gone ok turn your car to the on position (BUT DONT START THE CAR TILL YOU SEE YOUR FUEL GAGDE RISING ONCE LEVELED OUT THEN START THE CAR) this worked for me i did it about a year ago and check it from time to time everything still ok,i'm only saying what i did it may not be the same problem for you, but this solution worked for me and its only advice and give you some ideas hope you solve your problem Ali.

Your car is NOT a Previa but rather an Estima Lucida or Emina,

Anyhow it sounds like your injector pump is leaking. The best advice I can give you is to join one of these forums where you will find people who know these cars extremely well

best of luck
