    If the leak's coming from the nut under the handle and leaking out past the stem then turn the faucet on until the leak starts. Now tighten the nut ( It's called "The Bonnet Packing Nut") down until the leak stops. CAREFUL! Don't over tighten. Stop tightening when the leak stops. Did that fix it? Good luck. Tom
