The fuel filter also has a hole at the bottom where the water in fuel sensor sits.

Thanks for the information. The fuel filter was installed when I got the car about 18 months ago. It could be that it was installed by an unqualified mechanic or by one of the previous owners and they did not know what to do. I have a new fuel filter which has (as far as I can see) 3 outlets as well as a primer pump (I think it is a Toyota filter which should fit, got it recommended by one of my contacts in Melbourne).
The dribbling is getting now really bad so that I might look into that pretty soon.
