Forgive me, this is my first house and I was never handy or had a dad to teach me these things so... the bathroom sink is leaking from the faucet itself not the edge or the handles. The closest description to the type it is I could find is Compression faucet. The handles have screws in the tops so I can loosen and take them off. Can't figure out how to remove the faucet part without having to break it of. Real slow leak to but a leak. Where do I start to fix it and what tools will I need? Thank you

Hello Nufodis,

Repairing a compression Faucet is very easy, shut off water to the sink both clod and hot remove the handle or the knobs, remove the covers and the stems reolace the washers at the end of the stems, reassemble and you are done turn on the water, for more info open the link below and go through all steps 1-7, good Luck.
