My Kohler kitchen faucet model K-15162 with pull out sprayer leaks through the base when water is turned on. I replaced the valve and the three small rubber o-rings underneath the valve assembly but leak still there. The leak seeps down to the bottom sink cabinet and soaks the cabinet floor with water by means of the flexible sprayer hose. Any suggestions?:confused:

Check and see that any of those "O" rings didn't get rolled out of position. So it doesn't happen again lube the "O" rings with silicon jel. Good luck, Tom

Thanks fror your reply Tom. I did what you suggested and still no luck. The slow leake comes from a small hole located on the back of the faucet shaft. Not sure what this hole is designed for. If this system allows me I will attach a photo showing the hole and the letter "CL" marked below the hole. I am guressing that I maybe missing a lareger size O ring or some other seal... can you tell which seals I need just by going by the model number? Joe
