    Can you tell us the model Number of your faucet and also where is it leaking from, I guess your single handle faucet is leaking and the water is coming out of the spout am I correct, if you give us the model number or post a picture of we will be glad to help, Thanks.

    John is correct, you could replace that spout 10x and you will still have a drip. The Delta is repairable and rebuildable if you can show or tell us what model you have. Maybe you will need something like this Delta Tub & Shower Cartridge # SL1325 by BrassCraft
