    I can't stop a leak in your bathroom spread faucet. What can I do?
    I replaced the "O" rings in your 4" spread bathroom faucet, yet it still has a prolific drip, leaking out a drip or more per second. What else might be causing the leak?

    What brand faucet do you have ? Does it use ceramic or metal cartridges ? Usually, bad "O"-ring is not source of drip from the spout but source of leaks around the stem
