You also didn't mention where it's leaking from. If I had to guess, a washer in the handle has worn out and doesn't allow it to completely shut off tightly and drips from the head? (most common) | |

| Dec 21, 2020 at 19:06 | comment | added | grgdwyr | @IronEagle I think you may have figured it out. It is so hard to look back there and I didn't think to look on the main body but you guessed it. | |

I think this is called a cross-head faucet? Does the beveled ring where the swoopy curved bit of the main faucet joins into the main body move at all? It looks like there may be a nut hidden under there? | |
