I live in apt bldg and leak under kitchen sink - maintenance replaced entire faucet - it is still leaking under the sink  They are saying it is coming from me splashing water around the faucet - Can't they do something to fix this like caulk or something?

Hi Jaroberts1abney
 
A seal should have provided with the new faucet.  If the seal wasn't used then a putty material should have been installed under the faucet before setting it.
 
If they neglected to add the seal or the putty then you or they can add a small bead of silicone around the perimeter of the faucet and the faucet spray escutcheon (if present), too... ;)
 
Hope that helps...
