When I turn the shut off valve to my hot water on my bathroom sink, it begins to drip. Also, I cannot turn the shut off valve for the cold water. My sink is drippin from the faucet as well as the pipe under the sink. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Craig,
"when i turn the shut off valve to my hot water on my bathroom sink, it begins to drip."
There is a brass nut on the stem. Turn the shut off valve on and snug the brass nut clockwise until the leak stops. Do not over tighten.
" i cannot turn the shut off valve for the cold water."
Put a pair of large pliers on the handle and gently turn clockwise until it loosens.
"my sink is drippin from the faucet"
Brand name of the faucet? How old? One handle or two knobs?
"as well as the pipe under the sink."
What pipe under the sink? Supply or drainage? What connection is the pipe leaking from? Describe it. You haven't given me enough details to go on. Regards, Tom
