Question

How dop you fix a leaky faucet?

Answer 1

put a new washer in the nozzle

Answer 2

Turn the main water off.  Remove the s***w for the handle that's under the H or C cap.  Use an adjustable wrench to remove the stem by turning it clockwise.  At the bottom of the stem there is a rubber washer that needs to be replaced.  Look in the hole where you removed the stem and you will see the seat.  Rub your finger around the top.  It should feel smooth.  If it is rough it should be replaced too or the faucet will continue to drip.
