I disagree with trachsel. This sounds like a simple repair. No plumber needed here.
On the upper part of the stem you'll se a nut,(see image) this is the bonnet packing nut.
Turn on the hot water until the stem starts to leak. Now slowly start to tighten the packing nut until the leak stops. STOP!! Do not over tighten. Did that fix your leak? Good luck, TRom
