    The facuet wasn't sealed tight enough when it was put in you can use some of that puddy that turns to like a lead substance to plug the leak(avalible at home depot) ,or just get some pliers and tighten the bolt under or behind the knob to turn the facuet. Hope this helps

I am so mad, its dripping all over the floor when I wash. I put some putty dope on it, and that just doesn't work. It makes a hissing sound like pressure is building up in it. The back of my washer is all rusty and I had to move it away from the wall. What the heck is going on. Thanks:(
