Help! I have my house up for sale, so of course everything is breaking down. The central a/c went out, plumbing issues, what next?
My kitchen sink hot water faucet had a tiny drip, and then last week I noticed it running quite a bit around the base of the faucet. Also some at the base of the center spout. The guy at Lowe’s sold me a variety pack of ‘o’ rings, and said that might be the problem.
I was going to attempt it, and turned the shut off valve off tonight, but water started coming from near this valve. I quickly turned it back counter clock-wise some, until it was just a slow drip. I put a bowl there, and hope nothing leaks more overnight.
I looked this up on a few websites, but don’t understand the parts they are referring to…I need laymen’s terms for dummies…and how do I know what is leaking exactly? I can’t really afford a plumber right now on top of everything else.
Any input would really be appreciated. Thanks.

Home center giants like Lowe’s & Home Depot don’t have the kinds of designs that I’m seeking. I’d welcome any suggestions, but they need to be online. There are definitely small, specialized kitchen & bath dealers where I live, in the Washington, DC area, but I want to avoid driving all over suburbia to look at their selection.
