    Leaking from faucet meets sink top
    I am having trouble with my new faucet. Water is pooling where the faucet is siliconed to the vanity. I walk away for a few hours and come back to a pool of water around the base of the faucet.

    All of the water lines and drain are fine with no leaks.

    Any ideas are appreciated!

    Thank you,
    Nick

    Hi Nick

    I'd start by removing the faucet handle (or handles) and drying everything up real well with paper towels.

    Then, if the leak isn't obvious, wrap some toilet paper around the stem assembly... see if it gets wet over a 10 minute period or so.

    Start here... should discover something pretty quick off.
