    Compression faucet stem leak!
    It's a quarter turn valve. I found the exact faucet stem I purchased and it's identical to the old one. If you go to F.D. & Sons Hardware and search for STOCK #: 17312B you can see what I'm dealing with. The brand is Danco. Let me know what you think I need to do further to fix the leak since replacing the old one didn't work. Thank you
