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...
