There is a drip on my hot water line under the kitchen sink. It's coming from the shut off handle as well as one of the pipe connections.
Should I get some plumber's putty??
Need some advice how to prevent it from getting worse.

The nut behind handle needs to be tightened. Use 2 wrenches. One on nut, the other on valve housing.
What type piping do u have?
