Then, you’ll need to replace the O-ring or the gaskets with a new one and reassemble the faucet.

Finally, let’s look at ball type faucets. If your ball type faucet is leaking, the most likely culprit is a worn-out seat washer. To repair this type of faucet, you’ll need to remove the handle, unscrew the cap, and take out the ball. Then, you’ll need to replace the seat washer with a new one and reassemble the faucet.
